Sushi allowed

I started sushi at the 6 week mark per my dr.  I know some dr. do allow it earlier for their patients.

I do spice tuna rolls but don't eat the rice or I do sashimi and can do about 4-5 pieces.  I have also done salmon rolls and Ikura ( which is the large fish eggs) but again I don't eat the rice.

My dr. wants me to only focus protein and then veggie if there is room.  I have to admit that can be hard but I try to remind myself it is about my health.  I am glad I like fish too.

I do sashimi. I don't do rice of any kind post WLS (by choice) but I dare say I could. At home I make this "salad" that gives me a sushi fix: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2011/08/day-i n-my-pouch.html

Oh my, that looks wonderful!  It would also be much easier than trying to make sushi.  I think I might try a little dressing of soya, ginger, sesame oil and fish sauce to drizzle over instead of the yogurt, (just because I love it and not Greek yogurt.  Thanks for this and so many other great ideas!

I don't eat the rice because it drives the carb count up higher than I'm comfortable with. 

LOVE sushi and sashimi!  Have had it a couple times now with no problems :)

If it's fresh I don't have any problems with it - I also love maki rolls but sometimes they do have too much rice relative to protein; so I look for rolls that have protein on the inside and the outside if possible, and also, if you are getting them at a restaurant, you can say "Light on the rice" - that usually gives me just enough rice for the effect without getting too full or too many carbs. One thing to watch out for is the size of the piece of the roll - with chopsticks it's tempting to stick a whole piece in your mouth, but don't! I learned that very painful lesson several times. Don't be afraid to cut up the roll slice into smaller pieces! Of course, if you stick to sushi/sashimi you should be fine!

I tried sushi at about 4 months out.  Loved it. I can eat about 4 pieces  out of the average 6 pcs the sushi place  gives me.   It's a nice option for me. At least I can order one roll and be satisfied. Smaller items on menus aren't as easy sometimes.

I don'****ch my carbs as much as others. Your miledge may vary
