Even before surgery I've been craving sushi, I've only had cooked sushi non of the raw stuff which I really want to try I was told by surgeon that I can eat whatever I want as long as it's low in fat and low carbs also no junk food and sodas and drinks full of sugar but sushi is healthy and high in Protein. My main concern about raw fish is getting sick from it so I was wondering what's your take on sushi ?

I previously ate a lot of sushi, all kinds but mostly raw fish, never been sick from it. But I stick to quality restaurants. I'm pre-op but wouldn't the rice cause pain?

Raw fish is great, has never given me a problem either pre op or post op, but stay away from the rice.

I only have sashimi, which is raw fish - no rice. Or sushi specialty rolls that are wrapped in cucumber slices or seaweed instead of rice.

although we are supposed to avoid the rice, I've eaten normal sushi twice in the past 6 months. I had the same fears as you did. I did just fine but I stopped myself after 2 pieces because I knew the rice would start expanding as it sits in my stomach. So I would suggest eating off of a friends plate, rather than getting your own roll!

Do you like sushi ?

I don't like sushi. I love it! My first date with my wife was to sushi, the night of our wedding, sushi, 1st anniversary and about 1/2 of our anniversaries. I love a good dead raw fish!

I love sushi. I am a little over a year out and can eat it just fine. I do eat rice but just not a lot.

love sashimi tuna and salmon eat it whenever I can have been able to have since about week 4 post op

I was a bigtime lover of sushi before wls......and I still enjoy it on occasion now.

I"m not a big fan of rice anymore, though.

I have eaten sushi a bunch of times post surgery. No problems here.

This maybe a dumb Question but what does the rice do ?

I'm 5 weeks post op and I'm practically living off salmon sashimi. It tastes better to me than ANYTHING else

I love sushi. My favorite restaurant will leave off all or most of the rice. If I go somewhere other than my favorite, I order sashimi or Kani salad. If I'm plate surfing off others, I just eat the insides.

I have been thinking about sushi ???? as it's one of my favourite foods. I'm only 2 weeks post op, so it's a no go at the moment. However I'm thinking miso Soup might be okay..although the sodium levels might be a little high.

I don't have a negative effect from eating rice, I just get fuller faster so prefer to try and get the Protein in first
