Hey everyone! My name is Amy and I'm 13 days post op, had RNY gastric bypass surgery 4/26/17. (with added bonus- hiatal hernia repair) I'm a single mother of four children currently living in Virginia, originally from So Cal. I am 1 year vegan for the animals and am having an interesting time figuring out pre op and post op nutrition options for myself. Just looking to make friends (I swear I'm not judgy lol) I don't know anyone else personally who has had any procedure like mine. IMG_3889.JPG

Hi there! I was wondering if you might be able to answer a few questions for me? I am a bit confused as to whether or not it's okay to remain vegan after surgery? I've heard so many people tell me that I'll be unable to get my Protein quotas met, and my dietician said it's not even realistic "cutting out entire food groups". *sigh*
So I guess what I'm wondering is - are you able to get the required amounts? Also what sorts of supplements do you require daily? Is it the standard post bariatric multis, along with the B's, Iron, Calcium etc? Many thanks in advance [emoji111]

If you're interested in watching a YouTube video. There is this girl that has wls and she is full vegan now! She posts videos of foods she eats and stuff, her name is madeupmamma so if you watch her newer videos maybe they will help![emoji5]

Not vegan, but pescetarian (I eat fish and dairy products). Not eating meat or fowl does present some challenges. But I'm happy to be a buddy, amyjanelle3. I'm in that waiting period of being approved for surgery and now waiting for the big day on Aug. 4.

There are plenty of plant based protien supplements out there. I have Evolve in my pantry right now (Ideal Vanilla). It's vegan and has 20g protien per serving.

      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!!
