Im not a vegetarian but there are definitely ways to get enough protein... You will have to supplement after surgery. There are endless options with Protein Shakes, powders, juices and bars. And of course you will just have to make sure when you do eat, that it is Protein rich.

Are there any vegetarians out there ? And is it possible to get enough Protein if you don't eat meat ?

I met someone this week who showed me the protien powder she uses and it is a completely plant based protien powder. I will try to get the name of it for you if you want.

There is a veggie meat called smart ground that is a good source of Protein and tastes great. I'm not vegetarian but I like it and cook with it frequently. Nobody knows unless I tell them :)

I am also concerned about getting in enough Protein being that I don't really like meat or fish. Veggie burgers are great, but are they tolerable after surgery?

Edamame is a pretty good sorce of Protein it's like 18 grams for a cup I love it I haven't had surgery yet but it's def a great snack it's in the frozen section at wal Mart or all natural section of grocery store... My sister has chrones and she went gluten free and she got me addicted to it :)

Its so nice to meet fellow veggies ! I love Edamame, I haven't had it in a long time. I had no idea it was so high in Protein. I'm going to stock up ! Yum ! It will be great for night time snacking. I LOVE smart ground. I use it all the time and lots of black Beans too. I'm definitly going to check out that blog too. Thank you all for the great ideas !

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
