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!

I have no problem with sushi, but I admit I haven't tried the seaweed rolls yet ... I've heard some stories, and afraid to risk, so i'm sticking with the sashimi and Nigiri sushie varieties.

gosh, i find this so surprising. I was led to believe sushi was a thing of the past. I was banded 4/30 but just finishing 3 weeks of liquid and having a hard time switching back to food. Can't imagine sushi right now. Bought some for my husband today and he wouldn't eat it in front of me because he thought I'd be too upset. That's sweet but crazy. My stomach is not a happy place right now. Do you think sushi would be good or bad?

I think Sushi is a great, convenient option longer term - I don't think you should try it just yet (my personal opinion). The salmon and tuna would be ok, but the rice might be best after 5 weeks or so.

I just got banded on May 19th and Sushi is the one thing I can't wait to eat! I have forbidden my husband to eat sushi until I can at least have a few pieces -- mean I know but that's the only thing I've told him no to infront of me.

YEAH FOR SUSHI!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup:

I've been buying my husband sushi......the first 3 weeks I was on liquid and not hungry so I didn't care. Now, I'm on mushies and hungrier so you're right- I wouldn't buy it for him so fast. I have to find a sushi place that makes it with brown rice on request. My fav place used to do so, but stopped recently. Hope I can eat rice. A lot of people seem to have issues with seaweed.
