I know we are not suppose to eat rice, meat, stringy veggies, but I love california rolls.

I was wondering if anyone out there has tried to eat a california roll, maybe even 1-2 pieces with no problems. If I have to spend all day eating my 8 pieces of the roll every couple of hours that is fine with me. :cursing:

My doctor did not place food restirctions on me. However, I am to eat protein first, stay away from carbonated drinks, and really limit my carbs.

I love sushi, so I look forward to the day when I can eat it. Right now I am on the mushie stage.

What about salad? I would figure that a chopped salad would go down okay, but I have been told that lettuce doesn't like the lap band.

Anyone try eating a salad?

only in trying certain foods will you be able to determine what your band will be able to handle.

i eat ALL foods - salads included; fruits, meats, veggies & complex carbs.

i will say that the sticky rice in sushi is the hardest of foods for me to handle - i must go slow and chew well & all is good.

I too am a huge sushi fan and have eaten it. The problem w/sushi is that you automatically get a huge bite and end up chewing what seems like hours...although once chewed up it went down okay. As for lettuce, I have too had it and you just have to chew it up well...which can get kinda gross.

I have never had a problem with lettuce or salads, but everyone is different.

I love sushi, but don't eat it right now because I am pregnant. However, I could usually eat 2-4 pieces. When I was tightly restricted, I would pick most of the rice off the roll which is messy but still yummy. I would rather have riceless sushi than no sushi at all.

We arent supposed to eat them??? Where did you hear this. Opps. I bought a whole tray of them from one of those Deluxe Walmarts that sells them, and ate all 12 of them by myself. I also ate sushi on my cruise.

Someone forgot to tell me not to eat them I guess.

I eat everything, salads too. The only food that I notice a small restriction on is fruit. I ate some raw fresh pinneapple yesterday and felt a little restriction, forgot to chew it up and have had that happen with cantelope. Other than that I eat everything.

sushi with rice

pickles never again

lettuce

my band is pretty tight i hope to one day be able to eat these things again ..

just eat the center, no rice or outside, you should be fine.
