Sleeve and sushi?



Recommended Posts

I have had sushi 2x since surgery. It is amusing that it fills me up now, I was always annoyed with it before because it wasn't filling.

I don't eat the rice. I suggest not eating the rice. You still need all your room for Protein. Enjoy the flavors skip the rice.

It took me quite some time to be able to eat sushi, but I can now as long as I'm careful. I eat sashimi mainly. Cucumber salad, sashimi, and maybe 1-2 pieces of a roll. Be careful with the rice. I find I do best with brown rice. I don't do the miso because it's a liquid.

Enjoy! Sushi is great for you. :)

Over 3 years out and 2 pieces fills me up. I just get egg drop Soup and eat a piece or two off my friends plate. I do like the tuna but still just a couple of bites.

You'll want to learn how to go out to any kind of restaurants and be able to enjoy a meal. My wife and daughter have finally gotten used to the fact that I tweak every meal I eat out. The wait staff are always happy to accommodate the fact that I don't eat carbs or sugar. Frequently I'll replace the starch with a second veggie. (But I get full before I can eat it anyway.) So go online and look the sushi restaurant's menu with an eye toward avoiding the "white stuff". There's pretty much always an option you can enjoy. And if it's not posted, give them a call to find out about making you a sashimi salad or something like that. You've had lots of great suggestions already. Give them a shot, and stay strong! Once you get the hang of it, eating out is easy -- and still fun!

I went out for sushi tonight at my favorite sushi restaurant. I was sleeved 3/1/16. I had 3 pieces of sashimi (butterfish/Walu) a Dipped in a bit of low sodium soy. No rice.. Just fish and it was great! I didn't have any issues. I had been craving sushi for a week. The only downside was even though I ply dabbed in the soy sauce, I found waiting the hour to drink was torture.

I have been wanting sushi so bad and almost got some today, but was worried it would make me sick and I was running errands, so I didn't want to risk it. I know the place I go 1 roll would be 4 meals at least they are so big.

Does your surgeon's office have a nutritionist you can ask about it? My program does not allow rice at all because it is too high in carbs. However, I ate a few pieces of sashimi and did fine. I am 8 months out.

5 months almost for me. I eat sushi any time i can. As others stated, sashimi is a good option. Also my favorite sushi place has nigiri, which is a piece of fish on just a little bit of rice. I usually order 1 sushi and 1 nigiri, perfect.

Almost 3 months out now. I eat sushi,sashimi about 2x a month with no problems. I first ate it at 6 months to let the stomach acid get back to normal as that kills any parasites in the uncooked fish at my nutritionists request.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
