sushi...oops!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone. I'm kinda laughing as I'm reading these recent sushi

posts. On Tuesday night, ONE week post-op, um, I had a little bit of

sushi. Was that terrible? Figured it was squishy, had some protein,

plus the rice would be...binding. Honestly though, I had very little.

First I had a half of a cup or so of Miso soup (more protein)and then

ordered 2 rolls, cut into 8 pieces each (instead of the usual 6), and

only had 1-2 pieces of each (one was a California roll and the other

cooked eel roll).

Now, my stomach later did make some interesting rumbling noises, but

then again, it seems to like to do that since the surgery, every so

often. I was in the bathroom a few times that night, but I don't know

if it was from that or simply part of my body's normal recovery

period. Actually, the last couple of nights I've had to get up a few

times to hit the loo. I hope this is temporary!

So, was I wrong to eat that? I figure that I'll learn most from trial

and error, yet I don't want to do something stupid. My body has been

very cooperative during this process and I feel lucky because of

that. Don't want to disrespect it in return.

Well, at least I didn't have any Sapporos that night (Japanese beer)

that night!

Anyone have any good recently post-op suggestions that aren't too

boring? At least of the more upgraded mush(or not) variety? Let me

know if so!

Thanks

I went from being a Szechuan and Hunam snob back to good ol' comfort food,

Shrimp in lobster sauce. Other great, soft, comfort foods are meat loaf,

chili, chicken croquettes (with lots of gravy!).

I had to laugh reading your email! I haven't had the

surgery yet...still trying to find a place in Northern

Calif. to have it done. But sushi is one of my most

favorite foods in the whole world. Love that wasabi

and ginger too! What's funny is that I have Irritable

Bowel Syndrome and when I eat sushi I'm " running " for

the bathroom within 20 minutes!!! It goes right

through me already. Hey! Maybe the surgery will slow

it down a bit! lolol Take care.
