I found a site that breaks down the cals, carbs, and Proteins of sushi sashime and assorted sushi-related foods -

The Sushi FAQ - Sushi Calories and Nutritional Information

I love sushi and it seems like the perfect Protein delivery system post-VSG: small, soft, and flavorful. I'll probably have to switch to sashime rather than sushi 'cuz I've heard the rice is not our friend post-op. If you feel daring, octopus sashime came in at 8 grams of protein for a 1oz. serving! Miso Soup was pretty low at only 3 grams but I think if I doctor it up with some unflavored Protein powder it might be good for full liquid stage. =)

What a great link - thanks, I'll keep hold of that as I love sushi! Think I may need to swap to sashimi afterwards tho, but still very near to my heart.

THANK YOU! I love sushi too and figure I'll be doing mostly sashimi after my VSG. Great website!

Thanks for the link, YUM!

WOW! One california roll has over 200 calories? One of the 8 that comes to you??? Oh my goodness!! and I love SUSHI!!

I also love sushi. I am almost a month out and was able to eat a piece yesterday. Thanks for the info.

lillita, I freaked out too when I saw the cals but I think what they mean is the entire cigar roll before it is sliced up into pieces. Otherwise, eegad!!

This site is awesome. Thank you!

A roll is usually 6-8 pieces no worries!

I was heartbroken about the no rice thing after surgery cuz sushi is my favorite food ever and my tummy is very picky and I just figured rice was one of those "never get to eat again foods"...but I Couldn't hold out anymore and at week 5 I gave in and risked my life for a bite of a sushi roll, and mmm mmm mmm was it delish. No problems with the rice what so ever even that early. I had all of two pieces and a bite of my friends hibachi grilled steak. I was full and on cloud 9 to know I can have my beloved sushi again.

Yeah. I'm trying to find easy ways to make the protein. 3 pieces of yellow tail sashimi (no rolls) should make it easy!
