Wow... Sushi is one of my faves but I like the rolls versus sashimi... I am lucky to get 3 pieces of a roll down now though.... LOL Prior to surgery I could eat 2-3 whole rolls!!

Love me some sushi!!!!! :)

Good to know, I love sushi but I was worried it was too carb heavy to tolerate. Thanks!

I like sushi, but it's a lot of white rice and carbs. A couple of pieces once or twice a week probably won't kill a diet, but be careful.

What about fish without the rice? I've started buying a couple of fish fillets when I grocery shop every week. Tilapia, salmon, cod. Tastes good broiled or baked. Not as good as sushi, but still good.

I love me some sushi too! What amazes me is when I go to a sushi bar and place my 2 pc salmon roe order, the waiter/tress can't believe that is all im ordering! Before surgery, I would order one of those variety boats and eat just about every piece of sushi on it. Now, I get full off a cup of miso Soup and just those 2 pieces!

Thank you for sharing this, because California rolls were my fav before surgery and so far what I'm missing most post surgery. Eating only 2 will definitely be a different pace from what I'm used to eating. But at this point I'll take anything. :)

I love sushi but since surgery rice is not my friend. My sushi place by my house does the rolls wrapped in cucumber . Delish

That sounds good, I will have to look around to see what else places around Denver use besides white rice. They sell brown rice sushi at the Safeway grocery store, but it's pretty gross.

Ooo thanks for this thread. I'd been trying to get together with a friend pre-op for sushi (I've NEVER had it before and I want to try it soooo baaaaaad) but I wasn't sure how something like this would work post-op. Good to hear that people seem to manage it well enough, hopefully I do too!

Sushi goes down pretty good for me as well, I ate half (4 slices) of a california roll made with brown rice last weekend, it was the best ever.....I just make sure I workout on the days I plan to eat it....

I had no problem with eating the wrapper. I tend to cut up my food into small pieces (yes, i even did it with my 2 sushi slices). Had more problems tryin to cut into the seaweed wrapper than eating/digesting it...lol!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
