i love love love sushi, has anyone attempted to try sushi since being banded..i dont know what i will do without it..i know it is too soon now but is there a chance once i am on solids????

I do sushi quite often. I can't do the seaweed though. I didn't used to be able to do the rice but now I can. I just order it and then take it apart and eat everything but the seaweed. BAD PB episode on seaweed. Awful.

Everything else is GREAT.

I tried sushi & had a terrrible PB experience. You can put in a search for "sushi" & you should find out a lot about it. People say they can have it made with rice paper rather than rice & that it's much better that way.

i guess sashimi would be ok then.. no rice or seaweed.. i just love tuna even without the other stuff

Sushi and I are good friends, in place of the seaweed though I ask them to use rice paper, it is much thinner and much easier to chew then the seaweed. Just be careful with the rice, I was fine with it until I started getting my fills, my 2nd official PB was on rice form sushi, but now I have learned

pb what is that?

cgrubz- it means productive belching. Its a problem when bandsters eat too much too fast & food gets caught & has no way out but to come back up. When you find something you don't know about there is a button (upper right corner) called search. This will help you bring up all sorts of information on the subject you asking about. Its very helpful & you can read about all kinds of different experiences banded people have had. This will help prepare yourself when you are banded. Hope that helps :0)

Sushi- I will have to try out this rice paper. I was planning on having sushi has one of my LAST Meals:0) I LOVE IT- But I am A soft crab or veggie only. HHMMM Yummy!

I have been wanting to try it since it came up on the board awhile ago but have not since we do not have a Sushi place in this town. One is opening in the near future so going to check it out.

Suggestions for a first timer would be most welcomed:)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE SASHIMI!! It's the perfect bandster food, and if the rice is really mushy that works too. But I steer clear of the seaweed since an awful PB incident myself once.

My favorite part of sushi is the fish, so I do VERY WELL at sushi places. "Sashimi lunch special, please" is my favorite phrase.

i am so happy to hear this...Alex do i need to be on solids to have some sashimi or do you think i could give it a try now while on the mushies???

Umm, I'd probably wait until you've been on mushies for a week or so. And then take little bites. Enjoy!!

sushi, i love sushi. this is such good news!!!! so becareful of the rice and ask for rice paper instead of seaweed? sounds like i may give it a shot. nicole

I just had a california roll & shrimp Tempora & of course shrimp & crab puffs last nite- NOT BANDED & relishing every bite. YYYYUUUMMYY

I had sushi for my bday today... seaweed and all.... tiny pain once when i ate too big a bite.. but NO PROBLEMS!!!!

YEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Okay, Okay, I'm craving sushi really bad, but I"ve only had it once and need some recommendations on what I should have-keeping in mind, my band. Let me know, I am definitely getting me some sushi this weekend, tell me--what shall I eat...

Hey U guys remember Johnathan ate sushi in his mushi stage!! lol He said he just chewed it to mush....remember that? Not suggesting u do that, just this thread reminded me of that. I was rotflmao when I read his post on that like a month or so ago.
