Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 When I have trouble with sushi, which I occasionally do, it is invariably the seaweed wrapper that is the culprit. It's really hard to chew that stuff up small enough to keep it from getting stuck. --- Start weight 365# Lap RnY, Distal - Dr. s Vanderbilt University Hospital Surgery date June 3, 2002 Current weight 199.5# sushi > Hi, > I just read your post about the adolfs meat tenderizer and your > comment about sushi struck me.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 I had problems eating sushi 'til I was about 2 years out. My pouch just did NOT like it (even though my mouth did). Now I can eat it with no problem, thank goodness! I adore sushi! Staci =) Subject: Re: sushi I have terrible problems eating sushi now - it always gets stuck. I used to eat sushi all the time, I love it, but what can you do? If I get something stuck I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
