Any vegetarian/vegan sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

I was on a vegan diet for a few months last year and really liked it. I know most of you sleevers are low-carbing it, but I wonder whether anybody has tried vegetarian/vegan eating with the sleeve? Have any of you discussed it with your doctor? I plan to talk to my surgeon about it but would love to hear from you about it, too.

Thanks!

I am definitely a meat eater/lover, but when I had a couple bouts of meat not working for me, I talked to a vegan friend of mine. She introduced me to seitan and tempeh.

I tried the tempeh didn't like it that much. The seitan was much easier for me to tolerate, and gave me good Protein. At first, I was really hesitant to even try it, but it was a good option for me temporarily.

I bought all the stuff, and waited on trying it for a long time. I did eat the seitan for about a week here and there to help with my Protein. I know I could never get my steak/potato husband to convert so I didn't stock up on it, or even attempt to trick him into eating it.

I eat almost exclusively vegan foods right now. They seem to agree with my new tummy the best. I eat the Morningstar Farms products...grillers (hamburgers), veggie burgers, sausage patties and riblets. The Protein is so much higher, fat & carbs are lower and they taste great! They even taste good right out of the microwave so I take them to work. Besides these, I drink Silk milk, eat whey crisps in my foods and eat a lot of Atkins bars.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
