Can you still eat it with the band? I would really like to know if anyone has tried and how it went. I love sushi and that will be something I would really miss.

I can eat it, but I usually leave most of the rice behind, so I can eat more fish!:smile2:

Good idea. I will have to try that.

bmann,

I love sushi too. Most sushi bars have some type of rice free roll. I asked at my favorite sushi bar. They called is a volcano roll and doesn't have rice. It is warpped in seaweed and white fish. They also had another roll that was wrapped in cucumber as well if that interests you.

Do you sit at the bar or at a table? Try sitting at the bar, the chefs are usually really helpful if you want to special order or pick their brain about a specialty roll. :eek:

For the longet time I could eat it without problem, then i began to leave most of the rice and now, it just plain doesnt appeal to me anymore because I just KNOW it would get stuck.

its amazing how your taste changes, and the foods you think you'll miss just lose their appeal.

My doctor's nutritionist suggested that I remove the seaweed covering (or order a variety that doesn't have seaweed on it). I guess it is very resilient and doesn't break down much w/ chewing, so it really poses a problem w/ the band. :Banane01: I would suggest ordering sashimi (just the fish), as some others have mentioned, or if you prefer rolls, some sushi places have a different type of wrapping material (I think it's made out of dried tofu) that is much more band-friendly. :purplebananna: These days, I too leave some of the rice beind, but the other stuff is yummier anyway, ha ha. :laugh:These tips have been a great help for me, as I have tried eating it the normal way w/ bad results :success1::Banane33: Best of luck!

Funny.... I don't have a problem with the rice, but the black seaweed stuff kills me. So I have to take mine apart if it has that. I love sushi. My son and I and my best friend go for sushi all the time. I'm delighted I can still eat it.

Rice is one of the few things that does give me a problem. Add to that the size issue - its hard to take a small bite of a sushi roll and it has the makings of a bad night.

I stick to tuna Shashmi these days

I love Sushi, not only because it's good but because I can order 2 small orders (4 pieces total) and be full. Very cost effective. :cursing:

If the rice bothers you order sashimi instead.

Sashimi FTW! Fresh tuna and salmon will practically melt in your mouth.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
