Had 8 small pieces of Sashimi tonight. Nothing else. It was wonderful and no stomach issues. Big load of Protein and good oils to boot. I'm 5 weeks out and so far have not had a single issue with anything I have eaten. Lost 46 pounds of the 130 I want to lose in that time. I keep waiting for the other shoe to fall and have some issue but so far this has been easy and a blessing of gigantic proportions!

I have been eating sushi rolls with a soy wrap instead of seaweed, I eat the small rolls and four pieces is my piggy max!!!! Like when it is just melting in my mouth. I have not had any problems and I saw on an earlier post about asking for less rice, will do. I have even been able to enjoy gyoza dumplings, never ever fried though! This is my fav thing to eat since the portion size is great and the nutritional value is pretty good. Sushi is a sleevers best friend......

I LOVE sushi and was really worried about having to give it up. I think I was around 12 weeks post op when i tried it again. it went down PERFECT!

My favorite sushi place knows about my surgery and they were very happy to accommodate my new eating style. One of my favorite things to have was a salmon hand roll. So i just asked to make it minus rice. I used to be a rice fanatic so i do miss it, but i havent even tried to have it yet. I am 5 months post op as of yesterday. The longer i can go without it, the better ;)

I also eat sashimi a lot. Fish is so good for you, and my sleeve loves it!

I can't tell you how happy this thread makes me. I went into this thinking that my sushi days were largely over.

I'm one-week post-op, so it's still a so-far-away-I-can't-see-it goal, but I will use some of these tips as soon as I am cleared to. Never considered, for example, just asking for less rice on the rolls.

I have had, in general, no real hunger or cravings for normal food since the surgery. But somehow now, at 7am, I suddenly want one piece of a spicy salmon roll. :)

I had this sashimi salad yesterday and it was incredibly good. I asked for the ginger dressing on the side and used almost none of it. It did have some ponzu sauce sprinkled on top so it really didn't need any dressing. I also had some miso Soup. I ate all of the sashimi and a few pieces of lettuce and less than 1/4 of a cup of the miso.

I am 8 weeks out. Yesterday I had about 4 pieces of sushi with no issues. Love that I can still have it with no problem. =]

Did you have to chew the crap out of it? Or eat each piece in 2+ bites?

Several bites for each piece and I had to chew like crazy, but out was so worth it.

I get 2-3 slices of sashimi and asked my sushi chef to dice it up into bite size pieces and that made it so much easier to eat smaller bites.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
