Sushi after surgery?

I know that for a while my food will be restricted and I've accepted that. However, sushi is my utmost favorite food that I've ever eaten. With that being said, I know rice is a touchy food for a lot of people but is there anyone that has tried to test the waters

Once they were a while out like 6mo or a year later?

If I have to say goodbye then so be it, but if I know there will be a day that I can eat it once again, I'd be so happy!

I had my surgery in June and I've had sushi, but I only ate half of a slice of a roll with brown rice and the rest was sashimi. You shouldn't have to completely remove ANYTHING from your diet forever but you'll probably want to limit rice. So yes, you should be able to have sushi, in limited amounts :)

I had sashimi and naruto rolls pretty early on post op- by 3-4 weeks it was allowed on my plan. I don't miss the rice and without it, it's a solid high Protein rchoice for our post op diet!

I have sashimi often post-op (since moving to soft foods). I do not have rice in my program yet but I don't miss it.

If you know the place and like cucumber avocado or asparagus (and can eat veg) you can ask for roll with veg instead of rice

Almost three years out and I still can't tolerate rice.

But I do sashimi and poke and rolls without rice. Love it!

I imagine you should be able to if your body will let you have rice. I'm two weeks post op today and had sashimi the other day and it was okay. I just made sure to pick one that wont be disgusting to chew too long ????

i am almost one year out - and i have no problems eating sushi. the quantity i can eat is obviously much smaller - one small roll, max before i am full, but i have no problems tolerating rice. i order sashimi a lot though, just because i feel like it's a healthier choice for me since i'm still in the losing stage. however, every once in a while i want my favorite roll :)

Yes sushi without rice is called sashimi. They usually serve it with a side of rice. I am a sashimi freak hehe.

Yes, and rolls without rice are called naruto rolls. They wrap the fish in thin slices of cucumber instead of rice and seaweed.

Over three years out and rice makes me yarf. I ask for it rolled in cucumber or avocado most often. I love sashimi and kani salad as well. My favorite restaurant knows to put it in a handroll without rice without me even asking at this point.

My nutritionist loves sashimi...and so do I. The only thing I can't do is squid or octopus. They always sit in my stomach like a rock until they decide to come back up again...

      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!!
