Hey all,

So I have started a new journey I have been pescatarian for 2 months. I love it any ideas how this will effect my upcoming surgery?

I became vegan few months ago. My surgery is in about ten days. I saw my surgeon yesterday and we talked about it. He said he doesn't have anything against it as long as I keep track of the amount of protein that I will get. For you should be even easier. I don't know if you eat eggs, milk and derivate. If no, pay attention to the protein shakes. There are today many good protein shakes that are vegan. Good luck

What is a pescatarian?

According to the internet, a pescatarian (or pescetarian) is a person who eats seafood but not other types of meat. Pescatarians are similar to vegetarians, but the difference is that pescatarians eat fish and shellfish in addition to an otherwise vegetarian diet.

You should check out Dr. Duc Vuong (Dr. V) on YouTube. He has a whole series on weight loss surgeries and he recommends the pescatarian lifestyle. His videos are great, but I'm not a fan of the fishes.

I'm on a Pesceterian diet now but pre-op I ate any kind of meat. It probably won't effect you as long as you get in enough protein every day. I eat mostly shrimp and scallops with any kind of vegetable I like. I rarely eat fish now.

Yes that's correct
