Plant Based Diet



Recommended Posts

At the 3 month mark, my surgeon placed me on a plant based diet . He wants me to refrain from meats 4 days out of the week. Anyone else have this same order? Any suggestions? I'm struggling with it.

Were you having trouble digesting meats? Was there a reason he put you on that diet?

I want to go on a plant based diet as soon as I get the revision....I like the 4 day vegan 4 days a week!!!Did you see a nutritionist for this plan or is it listed because I want to definitely look into it once I get this horrible band out and a revision to RNY....

No trouble digesting meats. I did report to him nausea after eating a bite of a chicken enchilada. Maybe that's why....

Just remember to chew chew chew. And try taking some enzymes. I recommend either chewable American health papaya enzymes or source natural enzymes capsules. I just open the enzymes and sprinkle it on my food. Completely tasteless.

What do the enzymes do?

They help break down food. Your body produces it's own enzymes but as we age it tends to produce less and after bypass our tummy isn't producing near enough. So to help digestion along and prevent unnecessary tummy aches I take them daily.

It helps with the nasty post bypass gas too;)

Something about chicken with me...sometimes ok..other times...not good...rough...vomiting etc.This is commonplace with the band hoping that with the bypass it won't be this throwing up cycle.

Im a vegetarian but my husband LOVES his meat lol. In our house we eat ALOT of Gardein products. They are by far the best faux meats Ive had. Fieldroast also makes really good hot dogs. Tofurkey makes a Italian sausage that's really good (its in a red pack) but most of their other stuff Im not too fond of. Gardein is in the frozen section and Tofurkey is usually in produce. Hopefully some good tasting faux meats will make plant based a little easier to transition to.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
