Hi, I'm about 1.5 years out from RNY and follow a "plant-centric" diet (mostly vegan, but with occasionally dairy, chicken, or fish). It's hard to find other RNY-res who Are open to this way of eating; in my local support group I pretty much have learned just to keep my mouth shut, lol. Since this is a "buddy/mentor" site, does this mean either or both of you are open to chatting with other plant-based eaters?!

How do you manage the pressure to eat massive amounts of Protein?

Hi I'm vegan 3 years now. I love my plant based lifestyle. No animals or animal products are consumed by me. I also just had a revision on 7/16/17 I went from vertical banded Gastroplasty performed in 1993 to my current gastric bypass.
I'd love to chat with y'all too.
My email is aka_et@me.com
You can find me on Instagram and or Facebook. However I do not discuss anything about my weight loss surgery on either media account. I don't care to do so. But I do discuss being a vegan.

Is there a contra dancing group in your area? They usually welcome newcomers, you definitely do NOT need to bring a partner, and it's great indoor fun.

Just met with my Programs's nutritionist for exactly that reason -- snacking snacking snacking! After we looked at my eating patterns, she showed me that I'd gotten into the habit of skipping supper, or just having a "snack" for supper because I wasn't feeling hungry. However that's led to snacking more all evening.
So that's one thing you could look at -- are you eating real meals? If you don't like what you are eating (you mentioned aversion) then try changing up what you eat.

Take a look at a Yoga DVD something like DDP Yoga. All of these movements are done right in your comfortable space a t home and Help with Greater Flexibility and Controlled Breathing as well as a Wonderful form of exercise.

@nomorefattypatty
WLS is not going to help you with binge eating disorder.
If you are binge eating now, you can binge eat after surgery. It is really easy to binge eat after surgery. You can eat sliders almost immediately, like mashed potatoes and gravy. And if you have really serious issues, you could binge eat while healing and tear your stomach/damage your healing.
You have to get counseling and therapy for binge eating prior to surgery. Some people take vyvanse for binge eating disorder.
Get help with the binge eating and get in a good mental space, then have surgery.
Good luck.

Well let's chat then! I'll try to check in more regularly if you will do the same!
one thing I've always wanted to do is to have a veg*an "what did you eat today" ongoing post. When I've tried to join in the "what did you eat today running post, everyone starts harping on me "not eating enough protein" (protein=meat in most people's minds).
Any of y'all game to start that here?
