When can you eat sushi and sashimi?

 Just wondering when you were told you could eat sushi and sashimi?

My program said once I was cleared for regular food, I could eat anything I could tolerate. Sashimi is awesome WLS food because it's soft but has a lot of protein. Sushi can be a problem for some because of the rice -- it can expand in our stomach and make it too full before we realize it. I tend to eat the middles out and that helps. I think I started eating it when I was at work and it was part of whatever celebration we were having at about 2 months out, maybe 1 or 2 pieces at most.

 All I know is, our nurse educator told us a story of a woman who ate ceviche (raw fish marinated in lime juice) 24 days after wls, got a bacterial infection and died!  So.....I'd stay the heck away from anything raw for a long, long, long time!  

Personally, I'm waiting until I can have rice, 3 months.

OMG...I had a terrible experience at 6 months out...was at DOnald Trumps golf culb for a party...was starving and ate 3 pieces of calif. roll....ended up in the bathroom with the foamies...will NEVER eat stickie rice again!

I had it about week 3. I ate around the rice as well. Was yummy and stayed down when lots of stuff didn't. I mostly stuck to the imitation crab, and some smoked chopped squid omg so good! I'm not much of a fan of sashimi but I ate a little of the tuna. Went to one of those sushi go round things. It was really fun! I think we spent $12 and both my grown son and I were very happy campers! (he ate most of my rice!)

 I ate Sashimi very early on.  I tolerated it well.  That said, I can only eat one piece of sushi with rice before I feel bad.  I always order the sashimi appetizer and enjoy it.  Inexpensive and very nutritious dinner!

i am almost a year out and can just now eat a little bit of rice...  it swells up and makes me very uncomfortable..   so rice rolls are out...

i have eaten sashimi since about 3-4 months out and LOVE it!   just had it for lunch today, as a matter of fact....

It was probably one of my first "real" meals. I had California Rolls and Dynamite. I do without the Dynamite now because its fried but still like California Rolls with lots of Wasabi and Soy sauce!

I've eaten sashimi since I started solids.

I keep sashimi grade tuna in the freezer pretty much all the time and often have it for breakfast with soy sauce and wasabi. I eat very little su****hough  I love it, because I avoid white rice. sometimesI roll up some nori with chopped cucumber, mixed with a little mayonnaise, instead of rice and add smoked salmon, tuna whatever. Tasty and I don't miss the rice at all!
