I would like to suggest a Rouge forum for those who want to eat/drink off plan.

I have seen a lot of people fighting on here lately. Maybe if the Rouge people had a specific place to post it would help.

Just a thought.

Lml32937...what veggies do you eat for protein other than beans? I'm getting a little sick of meat and cheese!

Please share..

I eat a lot of grains- steel cut oats, quinoa and tofu, I eat a lot of the morningstar burgers and meatless chicken- I also make green smoothies with spinach or kale and fruit- I eat a lot of beans, hummus, eggplant- I did a 21 day vegan challenge and kept with it- they issued a bunch of recipes and that helped a lot since it was all new to me- It was not and is not hard and I dont miss meat at all... I am always full and have to forcemyslef to eat most days but I feel 100% better overall...

I eliminated dairy out of my diet but twice a month I eat string cheese or queso blanco and/or yogurt just for something different but I use almond milk or hazelnut milk daily.

If we eat out and there are no vegetarian options I will eat fresh fish if I am not in the mood for a salad but that has been rare... and you have to be careful eating out- Texas Roadhouse has really good baked potatoes and sweet potatoes BUT they are cooked in bacon grease/fat- so not vegetarian and you wouldnt know unless you ask and ask and ask....

Or, people could stop being such jerks to one another and realize at one point we were ALL obese, all have/had an obvious food issue and all are HUMAN. Just sayin.

LOL! Or people could realize that when they post their business on a public forum, they're asking for whatever responses they get and nobody on a WLS board is going to co-sign eating a Snicker's Ice Cream bar 2 days post-op from their hospital bed. That's the thing about the interwebs: don't start none, won't be none. IJS...

OP, that's actually a good idea.

Lightlife makes a Good veggie burger that is 20 grams of protein per serving … you can get them at Walmart 4 for about $4
