Hi... I was debating yesterday whether to have some sushi. I am not sure if I can have it once restricted and I want to start experimenting w/ what I would eat out.

So today I had two rolls - i ate very slowly and chewed well and no problem. Now if I start having a problem later w/ restriction i have a comparison - I did have a problem eating ground chicken the other day but I did eat fast.

I love sushi, but I don't want to risk it, so I now order sahimi.

I eat sushi all the time, and I love it. The rice can be challenging on tight band days. I would suggest, once you have restriction, that you take it very slowly with the rice. Tiny tiny bites and chew well.

Also, it always helps me on tight band days to start my meals with a hot beverage. I like hot tea, and that just seems to relax things and loosen the band.

Go luck.

Thanks! That is good advice on drinking hot tea before! I wanted to try it I am post op and on solids before my first fill Oct 14 so I have a comparison.

Ohhhh, sushi! I haven't tried it since I hit my sweet spot, but I WILL get around to it eventually! I don't have a problem with rice if I eat slowly, so maybe it will work. YUM!

I guess there is always the sashimi - but i always prefer rolls! I will have to see what happens w/ the restrictions. I'm sure if you take tiny tiny bites and chew it would be fine??? And take forever to eat it?? At least w/ this food its ok if its cold!
