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.

B:confused_smile:

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".

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
