I am six months out and I can't hardly stomach meat and eggs....did anyone else "convert" after wls?

I know there are a few vegetarians lurking around these boards. I can't imagine how hard it would be to meet my Protein requirements without meat. But technically vegetarians can eat eggs... just saying.

If you are talking about cutting out eggs, would you be going vegan? That would mean cutting out dairy as well.

If you thinking of going more vegetarian, then you should check out Dr. Weiner's youtube videos and book. I don't know how far out you are, but it is NOT recommended to try a plant based diet until you are 6 months out. I do somewhat of a plant based diet. This is probably because fresh fruits and vegetables cost more and have lower quality during this time of year.

Sorry. Can't help. Full carnivore here :-)

Maybe check with your doc for suggestions re food selections.

Am a life-long vegetarian sleeved on 11/5/2015 & down 52 lbs to date. Please search for & join the Facebook group "WLS Vegetarians" -- a support group for like-minded WLS'ers looking to follow a cruelty-free, plant-based diet!

I'm not a fan of many protein sources myself. I'm not vegetarian, but I have been eating a lot of vegetarian meals lately (I haven't had surgery). Check out A Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner. He's a bariatric surgeon who is really into nutrition and is very vegan friendly. You should get some good ideas there about what to eat. Also, his YouTube videos are fantastic.

Same here !

That would be too tough for me......gotta have meat !!!!

I am a vegan, and have been for 2+ years, and haven't had dairy for even longer than that. Going into surgery my nutritionist advised that I'd probably have to use whey sources for Protein because there's no other way I'd be able to get the adequate amount of without exceeding my liquid goal but my body still isn't used to it. Although it's been a little over 3 weeks (pre & post-op), my body is fighting the whey. ????

And post-op I'll definitely have to go veggie for protein.

I struggle to eat meats or fish or eggs, so I'm turning to a vegetarian diet. I'm 11 months out and I eat about 50/60 gr of protein. Lots of nuts, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, cheese, tofu, different kinds of beans. I had a run bypass
