How many months do you have to wait until you can safely eat sushi/sashimi? I would think it would be a high risk food because it's not cooked.

I ate sushi/sashimi at 8 weeks...no rice

I dreamt about eating sushi and sashimi. My surgeon said it was a great choice for my "first" solid food meal. I started with a spicy tuna roll but didn't eat rice. I was able to eat 3 pieces. Now I can eat an entire roll or several pieces of sashimi. There are always risks for eating raw fish regardless. Enjoy it!

I'm a year + out now. I have been eating sashimi since 3 months post op and I have it at least once a week!!

I've had rolls a couple times now but I have lost my taste for them - I much prefer sashimi.

I know I won't do rice but I think I'll definitely do sashimi when I'm ready to do a full solid diet. I miss raw fish.

My nutritionist actually let me eat sashimi as a soft food stage 4 item. Around a month I was eating sashimi grade tuna. Just avoid or be cautious on the spicy mayos, sauces and soy sauces.

I had my first sashimi at around 6-8wks out I think. I had just been promoted to solids at Christmas time and we traditionally have Chinese food on Christmas Eve so it was one of the better choices at the restaurant we go to. I had no problems and sashimi grade fish is actually a lot safer than many cooked foods as far as bacteria. Just don't get the rice with it and you should be fine.
