How much sashimi/sushi can you eat?

[diabladepaz 42]

I’m curious to know what a typical sushi/sashimi meal looks like for you post-sleeve. I had a cup of miso Soup and 4 pieces of sashimi - 2 salmon and 2 tuna. I feel satisfied. Before surgery I would eat soup, half a tempura appetizer, and one to two sushi rolls. Just curious to know what your portions of this meal looks like!

Hey! I have no useful response as I was sleeved 5 days after you but I can’t believe you can already eat sushi! That’s amazing! How long were you on liquids?

I’m so glad someone posted this. I LOVE sushi and wondering if anyone still ate it after being sleeved. I’m going to wait a couple more months to try it out though.

Not that they’re uniform size or anything, but I’m almost a year out and I can eat an entire small-diameter Philly roll. Before the surgery, I could eat that, plus an entire steak-and-chicken-and-shrimp teppanyaki meal, plus probably stop for a double cheeseburger and fries on the way home.

My dietitian would probably prefer I eat sushi or sashimi since they’re mostly/all Protein, but I just prefer rolls.

11 months post op and I can eat about half a roll.

Ha! Trick question.

The answer is...dun dun dunnnnhhhhh....

NONE!

And ever since they found tapeworms in the Pacific Salmon population this year (a relatively new appearance in that food chain), I will never eat raw fish again. Evs....and it's heartbreaking.

I Love Sashimi and I make Poke as well....I was sleeved in July and no more than 2ounces nothing else with it and that's about it. Such an amazing source of Protein.

I'm 7 months out and can do an egg roll and 3-4 pieces of sushi before being full.

Four pieces is my max, which is really annoying when the vendors sell them in 8-packs. The office hyenas are pretty delighted.
