Sashimi or Pokē. No rice

KimberlyBranco7,

I've found that I can eat rice at over 6 months out BUT I choose to eat VERY little. I eat Protein first and foremost because that is what my body needs. The rice fills me up too quickly and I just don't want to use what little space my sleeve has only to be hungry in a very short period of time. Not lion roaring hunger like before the sleeve but that little twinge that says "hey, you need to eat something". I find if I watch the carbs, and that is all rice is--my weight loss is much better.

Instead of rice, tell them u would like it wrapped in soy paper or seaweed. Yum!

I ask that the sushi chef uses the least amount of rice possible. I also ask that the pieces be cut about half as tall as normal, otherwise the bite is too big for me. Most restaurants are happy to comply. The few that haven't been have lost out on a very consistent customer.

I do not eat rice at all. I ADORE sushi. Have been ordering a small seaweed salad (have a few bites) and 2 hand rolls without rice. It is SO good that way!! My fav meal.

I had sushi tonight. I'm almost 6 weeks post op and on regular diet (save for grains). I got the crab naruto roll which has no rice and is wrapped in cucumber and I also got some sashimi tuna. In all I ate about 1 1/2 pieces of the roll and 1 piece of the tuna. It was amazing

I'm 5 months out and eat sushi all the time. Started at month 3 with no problem. Eat very slow bc all if the sudden you'll feel full, rice is weird!

Oh and 2 pieces and I'm really full

I love sushi! I will eat sashimi just because I like that better - super white tuna - yumm - but you should have what you like, just in moderation!

You can ask for a hand roll with no rice, too!

All great responses! I have been avoiding sushi but not anymore!
