I can have it, but it isn't easy to eat. I'm not good with rice so I usually let a hunk of the rice fall on my plate and eat the rest.

I tried Tamale pie the other day. Everything is going down ok for now. I went to a restaurant and mad the mistake of drinking a pepsi. I got sick. I did not eat for an hour. The dr told me not to drink liquids when I am eating. So I have been consentraing on not drinking anything with my meals. When did you have your surgery?

I ate sushi about 3 1/2 weeks after surgery and did fine. It is hard to eat in small bites and I only ate 2 pieces of it. Very filling. I did cut it up--like I said it wasn't easy,but it sure did taste good. I only do the california rolls, too. Let me know how you do!

Last month...yes I could have eaten that California roll...now that I have restriction....NO WAY

No lettuce, cabbage, rice, bread....all get "stuck"

And I can't even eat the "fake" crab they put in there...tried that and it gets "stuck" 1/2 the time.

so far i have had no issue with eating sushi and have had it a couple of times, I am cautions to eat it slowly though and each piece gets eaten in a few small bites, i do see though how the potential is there for issues with the rice and/or seaweed, reason why I am cautious with it.

I so hope I can handle sushi - it is one of my favorite, favorite foods of all time. And it is relatively healthy so I'll be bummed if I can't eat it. I like sashimi so that will be OK if I cut it up.

Seriously though, if I have to give up sushi to become healthy, it will be worth it. I will, however, be very sad. Of all the foods I am saying goodbye to, that will be one that I will "mourn" the most.

With good restriction you probably will not be able to get down more than a couple pieces. I have now gone to sashimi and feel really good. I can eat the entire order of sashimi because its a soft food and very high in Protein.< /p>

Sashimi is raw fish. The maguro (tuna) and hamachi (yellow tail) is really good. It is very high in Protein and keeps you full longer. I have that with a cup of rice and its perfect.

Two months ago I would have said yes, but know the answer is No Can Do!

It gets stuck! You will find that after every other fill there will atleast one thing that you will have to cross of your "ok to eat list".

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
