Sushi - 6 Months out



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I had sushi for the first time since surgery it was also the first time having any rice since surgery. I was surprised just how filling even a tiny amount of rice was. I am able to eat about 6oz of food but rice really packed a punch even from a few bites. I rarely ate rice in the past but it was never something that I associated with being very filling.

Thanks for sharing, that is good to know. I love sushi but if the little bit of rice fills your pouch, it's hard to get the Protein in from the sushi. So, boo. I'll have to remember that.

Rice is still tough for me 1 1/2 years out. When I do a Sushi joint, I try to go for sashimi if available, or I do hand rolls with soy paper (seaweed does not play nice with me) no rice, most places will use veggies as the filler. If I do a cut roll I ask for light rice and most places accommodate. after a few pieces I am set. 👍

Rice is hard. I've had sushi maybe 3 or 4 times and I poke as much rice off as I can.

I was a little concerned how i would handle the sashimi as medium rare beef is giving me problems

I can handle most sashimi just fine, salmon is still my favorite, followed by Poke style tuna.

Beef still gives me issues unless its ground or falling apart cooked. Same with chicken, dark meat is easier than white meat.

I've had sushi (two orders each time) three times by now, starting at my fourth month out. I've had no trouble eating the rice, but because of that, I have to be careful. Some of the Japanese restaurants here don't offer sashimi, but only chirashi, which is raw fish over rice. You can just eat the raw fish (there's plenty of it) and leave the rice.

Hi Guys,

As a native 'rice-eater', I have been eating rice since my second month- Obviously I dont pig out- but I have eaten sushi a few times as well. I have been able to keep it down. I was losing a bit too quickly in the beginning and wanted to slow things a bit- didnt want people to know I had WLS.

Wonder why all of us are so different in our reaction to food. I can't eat beef.

Hope this helps- and I dont get yelled at by a bunch of folks.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
