I'm a sushi, and sashimi addict. I could eat it all week. Is this going to be a problem after surgery?? I know the first stage of course I can't but later on. I'm just curious. I'm still going forward with the surgery no matter what.

I eat sushi all of the time! I waited until a coupke months. I eat sashimi mostly, but if i order a roll, i can only eat about half. At first 1/4.

I ate sashimi about a month out. I didn't eat rice until about 6 months out, and then I didn't eat much. It did not sit well at first. Now I enjoy sushi, but I often leave part of the rice uneaten.

You'll have to wait until you get to regular foods (phase 4), after the mushies and soft foods. Mine is after 4 weeks, but every doctor/NUT has a different plan. I would specifically ask your surgeon, since it is an important food for you. Now, the rice attached to some of the sushi - I would wait quite a while before I ate that, but that's just me. Even when your doctor OKs a food still take it very slow (take one very small bite and wait) to see how your body will react to it. Oh, and you have to chew the heck out of it before swallowing.

I love sushi too and can tolerate it no problem but I can only eat 3 pieces and Im STUFFED. Normally my bill at my favorite sushi place is only $1.25 because during the week they have specials and luckily the plate only has 3 pieces. Im a cheap date for sure This is the only food that I wish I could fit more of in my teeny tiny tummy but my weight loss, the new clothes, the energy and the health completely outweigh my wish to overeat sushi.

I'm a sushi fan, too. Glad to know that post-op, I'll still be able to indulge! What's your favorite sashimi or roll? I love tuna sashimi, and tobiko maki rolls (the ones with fish roe on top), as well as the smoked eel rolls.

Now I'm craving sushi...

I love spicy tuna rolls if i order a roll or a philly roll. and my fav sushi chef knows about my surgery, so she uses less rice when she makes my roll. And when i order sashimi she cuts it into bite size pieces I am almost 10 months post op. my favorite sashimi is a mix of salmon and tuna. when i order sashimi the amount she makes me equals 3 1/2 ounces. I usually have a few bite size pieces left over that my husband gets (he doesnt mind!)

i still weigh my food religiously

And when i order a roll, made with less rice, it is cut into 8 pieces and i can only eat 3-4.

I had it once about 6 months out and it was sooo good. I stuck with sashimi and no rice.

I'm a sushi fan' date=' too. Glad to know that post-op, I'll still be able to indulge! What's your favorite sashimi or roll? I love tuna sashimi, and tobiko maki rolls (the ones with fish roe on top), as well as the smoked eel rolls.

I have been eating sashimi since being cleared for all foods, it's what we as a family will eat if we go out. The "sake" (salmon) sashimi is my favorite I like it with tons of wasabi

I ate two pieces of my wife's eel avocado roll and didn't have any issues but won't repeat due the carbs in rice. I have never been a big fan of sashimi but will have to learn to deal with it moving forward should the urge for sushi strike.
