Vegetarian Sleevers?

Hi. I am a vegetarian, scheduled to be sleeved on 5/1. I'm having so many doubts about my decision. Not because I think I can do it myself...because I cannot. I just have so many fears about complications, hair loss, recovery, etc. Another fear/worry that I have is due to the fact that I am a vegetarian. Will I be able to get enough Protein and Vitamins through non meat products? It seems protein is such a huge focus and I understand that but can I really get enough to be healthy and not lose my hair?!

    hello..dont you worry...recovery will be fine...hair loss is there but you get thicker hair later... we can have Protein shakes,cheese, nuts,legumes...so go for it.

  • Texturized vegetable protein has more protein than any animal protein product, vital wheat gluten does also. I choose to eat eggs and fish, but that is because I like them, not because I feel like I
