It seems like the sticky rice might get stuck... and the way pills get stuck in me, I'm not going near sticky rice. But boy, it sounds great and think how cheap! One roll and I'm good for the day...

What does it feel like when something gets stuck?

I'm one month out from being sleeved and had two pieces of rainbow roll a couple days ago. It went down fine, but had to chew chew chew. Was full after two slices, can't wait to have again. Uni is my favorite....Sea butter....yum.

I guess the only thing that concerns me 5 weeks out is the rawness if the sushi. Most of it, at least most if what I used to get. I'm concerned about the chance of the fish having something wrong with it and having newly cut stomach put at risk. Otherwise I'd be eating salmon sashimi all of the time!

I was never really interested in sushi. I liked California rolls but that was as adventurous as I got. Until I went to California two weeks ago...

My son and his girl took me to their favorite sushi place and ordered twelve different kinds, along w/appetizers of soft-shell crab and calamari. I was leary but I tried almost all of it (I wouldn't try the one w/eel - it sort of creeped me out! Lol). Now I didn't eat a LOT but I tried a bite of almost everything - and it was delicious! I loved it. Especially the spicy ones. I am now officially a fan. We ate sushi three out of the six nights I was there. Also I was very surprised how good soft shelled crab was. :-)

I wonder if there are any places that have good sushi in RI...

@@junejune00 hi! I live in Beaumont. I got sleeved in November. I love sushi too but I haven't had it yet since surgery. I've only eat sashimi which is still really good to me. I know some people that eat rice with no problem but I'm trying to stay away from the carbs so I don't Pasta, rice, or bread. Good luck to ya! Where were you sleeved?

After surgery I became super sensitive to sweet/sugars. Went to eat sushi at 4 months out, I spit it out it was so sweet. Tried the sashimi it must have been soaked in sugar Water. Tried several more sushi places but it was all the same. They definitely add some sort of sugar to sushi. I wonder if it's industry wide? Few weeks later I went fishing and caught a small tuna. One the way home from the dock, I stopped at Sushi bar and ordered the tuna sashimi. At home I ate the tuna I caught followed by the restaurant bought sushi. I observed that the restaurant bought sushi had way to much sweetness to it. I feel I have been duped all these years by sushi bars. Thinking I was getting clean from the source food when now I suspect that some type of sugar is added before it gets to our table. Glad now I can make a wise choice about what to eat instead of the food industry deciding for me.

I had a gastric bypass. How many months after your surgery you had sushi? I love sushi and sashimi but moving forward I am going to just have sashimi.

Hello....I have been away for a while because I went back to work on May 12th..... I was actually sleeved at the Christus Bariatric Center in Beaumont Texas on the 14th of April. So far I have been able to eat mostly soft things...Sushi is amazing!!... Not sure what it is, but this goes down really easy and I can tolerate it very well. The the first time this past Thursday evening I actually ate the whole roll that was my limit but it was such a huge step forward for me... It actually took me about 45 minutes to eat the whole roll which was about the size of a gold dollar....rice and all!... I think it is extremely strange that I can tolerate this yet I cannot tolerate eggs at this point... And I can literally only eat about 2 to 3 teaspoons at one time. Other than that all seems really well at this point I'm glad I did this.... I feel so much better now than I did at the beginning, and i have lost a total of 48 pounds...Sushi anyone?

I'm excited to start eating sashimi but concerned about it this early on (2.5 months). I"d be afraid to risk the rare chance of contaminated raw fish this close in my healing process. I plan to be a sashimi maniac at some point, as seafood goes down so much better than chicken or beef and I seem to be craving seafood moreso anyway. But the chance of anything no being cooked just seems to early, if god forbid I got sick now I'd hate to do that to my new tummy.

I am 5 months out and have been eating sashimi for several months without problem. I am addicted to yellow tail!

Funny enough the "sushi" I have been eating are actually cooked rolls..I have the tempura chicken, fish, etc. Instead of raw ingredients, as I agree, I dont want to risk getting sick on anything right now.... But like I said sushi rolls go down much easier at this point, as does any type of fish for me,.... I can even tolerate small amounts of rice around the roll! Not to mention I crave it all the time, and its got good Protein.< /p>

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
