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.

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
