I finally got to start eating soft foods today! First stop, my local sushi bar. I savored every second of 4 pieces of salmon sashimi. At 40 cal/6g Protein per ounce, it's a beautiful thing. Here's some great info on sushi nutrition!

The Sushi FAQ - Sushi Calories and Nutritional Information

Good to know that sushi will still be able to fit into my plan after I get banded. Any ill effects?

I have been sick a few times with sushi, thought i ate to fast but surgeon said no if the green bit not fresh fresh --- bad bad news.

Veggie rolls, w/ the sesame seeds, rice, avacado....:smile:

<3 Sushi! & The chop sticks slow ya down.

don't forget the miso Soup. super low in calories and oh so good. my last dinner b4 my surgery was NY Steak and Sushi. oh yeah, and a cup of chili.

i know how to do it right.

but thanks for the intel. i'll be doing a little shasimi and miso as soon as i'm allowed.

Sushi is my favorite food ever! I don't know what I'd do if I was at full restriction and couldn't eat it, since I've heard some people have a problem with rice. I guess that's an excuse to go and try to savor it in the next few days until I get my 2nd fill, just in case...

I've eaten it several times. Some places have stickier rice than others. while I like the really sticky rice, my band is not fond of it. So now I'm a bit more choosy about where I go to eat it.

I know I've said this a million times, but I LOVE SUSHI! I love sashimi a bit more, I think, but it's close... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Im newly banded - so can you eat some sushi rice? or is it best to stick to sashimi?

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm happy that this is still a possibility.

Thanks!!!

I love sushi. When I am restricted I can't eat the rice but love the sashimi and tartar. Also I ask them to do the rolls without rice sometimes.

I love sushi, but I am way more picky now :wink2:

With the band, since you have to chew-chew-chew, you get to savor every flavor, and I have now realized some places do not use good seaweed for example. Sometimes, that's all that's left in my mouth after all the chewing, and the seaweed is horrible tasting (really fishy at some places). Sometimes I spit the seaweed out when I get to it.

Other than the seaweed, I have never PB'd on sushi.

I LOVE SUSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy that I can continue to eat it after I get banded.

OK. one day 9 i went out for sushi. 3 pieces of shashimi (sp?) and teriyaki chicken.

i over did it on the chicken - but it was all so good.

then a few days later i went out with the Ms. and had some more.

3 pieces of shashimi (tuna works well, red snapper didn't (too chewy)), miso Soup and some scallops dynamite. the scallops were a little to stringing once i chewed them, so i didn't eat much.

i love that i'm learning what works, what doesn't.

sushi is my favorite of all time! i took someone's advise and requested it be cut into smaller pieces. i've also learned to eat sashimi instead, i didn't do well with the rice. but heck, then i'm getting great protein, so not complaining. but now, i need to figure out my faves and only order a couple of those instead of combos. combos are too much food for me.

sounds great! I'm going for sushi tomorrow!!! I'm a little afraid of the rice, though
