I am soooo happy to say Sushi goes down great for me.:) I was afraid to try it, especially at a restaurant but we went out tonight and I ordered the Sashimi (just fish...no rice!!) and took small bites and was able to eat three pieces.:hungry:

One of my worst PBs was on a california roll with the seaweed then I discovered to have my rolls made with rice paper, less chewier very thin and goes down smooth.

You can handle the rice?? I had the Sashimi (just the fish) alot of places have a seafood salad, too. Which is just chopped up sashimi (different kinds of fish) or another of my favorites is tuna Tataki (seared tuna). All are no carbs and pure healthy protein....yum!!

This is a great tip -- I can't wait to eat sushi again!

I've always loved sushi and especially, sashimi.

For me, the hand-roll made-to-order works best. I simply have the sushi chef to make the hand roll without rice (aka Hosomaki, a thinner roll) or with a paper wrap (of soy paper or rice paper, depending on which sushi bar I go to). Either way it's absolutely yummy.

I don't hate rice, but a little bit of it makes me SO full that I wouldn't have room for some of the yummy things I like.

Tigers eye, Ika, Kani, and Unagi - are some of my favourites. YUM!

I will have to try the roll without the rice. Prior to my recent fill, I could eat 4 pieces of a California roll. I am sooooooo tight right now and I am even nervous about trying a piece of sushi without rice. Maybe in a couple of days. I miss my California rolls already...sniffle.

I can eat it no problem, rice, seaweed and all. If I'm out and have to buy a takeaway lunch, a hand roll is my first choice. One is very filling coz of the rice but only $2.50.

4 days after my fill we went to a sushi bar and I was so happy to discover that the fish (with no rice) went down great. I was so happy, I got kind of creative. I think it is because it is kind of oily. I have to make some of the foods I eat saucy or greasy sometimes...

I also had one of the PBs from hell on seaweed salad. NEVER AGAIN! But sashimi is one of my FAVORITE meals. I love all sorts and eat it as often as I can.

Something else you may want to try is called the cold roll. If I remember correctly it's tuna, salmon, cream cheese, avacado and maybe something else wrapped in thin cucumber. It was delicious!

I love shashimi......no problems yet. I also love the eel rolls but the nori wrap gives me problems.....I order it anyhow and just eat the innerds...LOL Also, I have Constipation problems since this last fill.....but the wasabi does the trick.

      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.
