Is it healthy? I get that rice is unhealthy but idk if I can give up sushi or rice!! I am not a sweets person and I can live without pasta,bread and potatoes but damn can't I have 1 thing that I love in my life?!? I like to have jasmine rice with a lot of my meats and veggies...I was also told its not good cause its hard to chew up...what about purée? idk I just really love rice/Asian food

Go with sashimi and edamame and miso soup. A lot of sushi rolls have mayo in them, and sugar added to the rice mixture. If you do eat a sushi roll or nigiri, try to pass off half of the rice to a side plate.

I am 8 1/2 months post op and one of my biggest fears pre op was giving up sushi. I assure you, sushi will not be gone forever! But i will say that i have a much different relationship with rice as i used to have. I eat sushi once a week. I mostly order sashimi. But usually have 1 or 2 pieces of a roll my husband orders. And sometimes i dont even want any. I am perfectly fine eating sushi with no rice. I still love sushi. And i am glad that i didnt have to give it up forever. But i am not obsessed with needing rice like i used to be

i can't stand most fish but the kinds I do like I like with rice because it takes some of the fishy taste away

Oh, and my favorite sushi chef is more happy to accommodate my new ways of eating. She will make me a mini sashimi or if she makes me a roll she uses less rice.

The only way I can eat fish is smothered in ketchup or with rice >.< I'm going to be so miserable

Try broiling it with mustard. It is better than it sounds!

I have eaten the same with the exception of the miso soup. I have regular sushi but will only eat three pieces and then I am full.

You will be surprised. Your relationship with food can change. Before surgery i couldnt understand how people could actually order no rice with their sushi, not eat the bread on the table at restaurants or not drink diet coke everyday.

But now i can understand. I can do all of those things. I can also choose to eat some rice, or have a small piece of the bread on the table.

if i want some i can have a small amount and walk away. But i dont have this strong desire for it anymore. And i dont feel deprived or miserable.

And the amount of sugar in sushi rice isnt that bad. I have a severe intolerance to sugar since surgery and i have never reacted bad to sushi rice.

Yeah this has been a struggle for this Filipino guy giving up rice or eating small amounts. But for the most part I have been good in eating just a small amount. My eating strategy is to eat protein first and then have some carbs.

How many pieces of sashimi can you have?

I love rice too and I know I will miss it. I have been told that a lot of times you don't really even like or crave some of your favorite foods after the sleeve surgery. I can't imagine...but I hope it's true.

I have had Sashimi and love it. I am almost 4 weeks post op and can puree the sashimi before swallowing. I can only eat about 4 pieces after having some of the miso soup. But I take the rest home and eat the other 4 pieces about4 hours later.

I don't like sashimi
