I'm thinking of ordering shashimi and I know lots of you et this early out has anyone tried the seaweed salad with it sounds good.

I'm almost a month post op and this thread made me smile!

Awesome medic!!

Oh wow that's awesome but I don't think I can tolerate rice from what I hear you had gastric bypass or sleeve ?

Hence the name lol, I had the sleeve. I was months post op. I'm sure that it's not technically "allowed" due to the rice but I tolerated it ok and only had two pieces in one sitting. Took me half a day to eat 5 little pieces, it was take out. While I tolerated it ok, I won't be doing it again anytime soon because I got really full off a very little amount of Protein. Definitely nice to know I can have a couple pieces on special occasions though.

Sorry, I was two months post op ????

Don't have sushi with rice, have sashimi instead. I was able to eat 8 pieces

the only "down side" is that now I can't go to my favorite amazing sushi buffet anymore LOL

@@Sophie74656 - Buffet's are no longer on my menu. I am into quality, not quantity. And those damn places make my Scottish roots go nuts. I can't get my money's worth there.

yep, buffets are a thing of the past now. But honestly this sushi buffet was really the only buffet I used to go to, it was a good price and the sushi was excellent. I'm just glad I can have sushi at all

Just another perspective on buffets--for me the value isn't in the quantity anymore but the variety. As it stands I can never order more than a single appetizer item at a restaurant or (more often) split a meal with someone. At a buffet I can try a bite of six different things! To me there is value in variety now. I have only done it a few times, but I have enjoyed it those few times for that aspect

yes that is a good point. I've been out to restaurants since my surgery and have only had appetizers that I couldn't finish. But I would say that if my friends wanted to go to a buffet I would probably suggest something else but I probably wouldn't turn down the invite, but they're not something I would choose to go to if it's just my husband and I

It was a takeout place so I wasn't sure the quality of their sashimi, but in the future I would definitely do sashimi.

@@sarahbethemails, sushi is a weekly treat in my home - though it's homemade to control the carb and calorie counts. I've had no problem and often use the recipe here.

And now that I'm further along in my WLS journey, I do sometimes use real rice, just in tiny amounts (1/4 cup per 2 rolls) and then eat it over two meals. YUM!

@@Sophie74656, stop drooling and make it

oh believe me I'm going to LOL. I've made rolls before, I even have one of those mats to roll them on.

Rice doesn't work for me now but I love the wasabi hit -- these days I sip my Miso while friends/family dig into a boatload of sushi and then I get a salmon teriyaki with no sauce and roll it around in wasabi, yum. I'm private about my surgery and worried about these social occasions bit it all seems to work out fine. Every ine is so happy to have my leftovers, lol. Think I'm going to try some Nori experimenting, hmmmmm. Smoked salmon roll ups with Wasabi cucumber "mayo" and a bit of shredded carrot? Always thought the Phillie thing was ridiculous but maybe I will change my tune and play around with cream cheese whole I'm at it. Part of the sushi thing for me is the presentation -- the art of beautiful food. Great thread; thanks!
