Hi I'm vegan 3 years now. I love my plant based lifestyle. No animals or animal products are consumed by me. I also just had a revision on 7/16/17 I went from vertical banded Gastroplasty performed in 1993 to my current gastric bypass.
I'd love to chat with y'all too.
My email is aka_et@me.com
You can find me on Instagram and or Facebook. However I do not discuss anything about my weight loss surgery on either media account. I don't care to do so. But I do discuss being a vegan.

Hello everyone. I too am trying to eat plant based. All of the boost fasting 2 weeks before 2 weeks after put me into gout mode. If you've ever had it, you will do anything not to get it again. I read a book before surgery that was written by a gastric bypass surgeon called Proteinaholic by Garth Davis MD. He encourages all his patients to go plant based diet. I'm glad I found this group.

Hello,

I'm scheduled for a lap band revision to RNY on Dec. 12th. I've been vegan for 4 years now, so any help, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I also read Proteinaholic by Garth Davis. I was trying to find a post surgery vegan diet and have not been able to locate one. Are you getting 50-60 grams of Protein a day? What is your main source of protein?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello Roadrunner,

Congratulations on your surgery date.

I have not been able to find a food menu for the Proteinaholic book either. At first, we can't eat from his menu.

i have been able to get my Protein in. However, i have not been just plant based. No meats, but cottage cheese, yogurts ect. Since I'm just 7 weeks out, i copped out and ate dairy.

I do eat legumes, Peanut Butter, nuts now, so that helps.

That’s great! Thanks for replying. How are you feeling? How is the weight loss going? I’m curious if vegans lose at the same rate as others.

Hi Roadrunner!

I actually feel amazing! I have lost 40 pounds since October 10th 2017.

I too would like to know how vegans lose compared to non vegans.

I am collecting vegan menus from Meal Mentor. I get new vegan recipes each week. She teaches "batch cooking" if you're into that.

Looks like you are doing great on your weight loss!

When did you have your surgery? You may have said, my apologies if I didn't remember.

I've been thinking about doing the meal mentor, also. I'm glad you like it, I think I'm going to subscribe, also. My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 12th...I'm really trying to make sure I have everything organized before then.

Forty pounds!!! That's awesome!! Congratulations, and I can't wait to continue following your progress!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
