I am SOOOOO proud of myself today!!! Went to Walmart and got a few things. Because I dont drive we sit in at McDs until it is time for bus. I usually get the bkfst w/o meat or the big mac w/o meat. Today I bought a salad at walmart but when we got to McDs(inside Walmart) i just got a side salad and a coffee! Best of all I didn't eat the entire salad. Lol I even used my own dressing I bought at Wal-Mart.

I was vegetarian for awhile. The funny thing is, go to subway and get all the veggies you normally would without the meat and you'd be surprised that you probably won't even miss it. My problem was to much Pasta and carbs

I can imagine it could work at subway lol but i cant see a big mac without meat being worth anything :P But yeah i have done that at subway type places before ( I was veggie briefly in my teenage years ha )

Yes I go to subway but for some reason their sandwiches make me sick now. Their salads hurt my stomach even. bread after wls isn't good anyways. So im just changing my diet 360.

I have not had the same experience, but was an ovo vegetarian for 3 years. I still eat a mostly vegetarian diet with fish/turkey incorporated (have to right now). Once I am farther away from surgery, I will probably move back or at the very least become a pescatarian. I just have to get better at getting my Protein without the addition of mock meats, whey Protein Shakes and CHEESE! I love egg whites, but just can't stand to eat them everyday. Veggie Protein is nasty to me, and very chalky as well. I will figure something out, because I just don't want to go back to animal foods being 60%+ of my diet long term. I feel better at 20% or less. I would be interested in hearing ideas about getting protein in without meat, mock meats, whey protein, cheese and milk, and/or an excess of tofu/soy products. The sheer amount of food I was able to take in in one sitting helped me reach my protein goals before (5-7 cups), but this will not be enough while I can only consume 1/2 cup of food.

I have come across Bone Broth for a great way to have protein without the meat. there is a lot on google on how to make. it is so cheap to make as well. after i make it i freeze it in ice cube trays then place in zip lock bag in freezer. when i make Beans, veggie, lentils, eat i place a cube of it in food to melt and it adds great flavor to veggies and the protein i need. check it out.

Sadly the protein in Bone Broth is not the total protein you need. It's a great ADDITION to protein, since it's very high in collagen/gelatin. But if you depend on the protein from bone broth to fund your total daily protein, you will not be getting in solid, quality stuff. This is coming from my RD, not me. Sorry to bear bad news.

I doubt she was counting on just the bone broth to meet all of her daily protein needs? It can be in addition to all of other things you eat that also have protein.

For instance, I might add some tofu to a dish to bump up the levels of protein for that one meal, but I would still drink my shake and or eat other things throughout the day to meet my goals.

Thanks Chil for your post of bone broth.

I've been vegetarian for 47 years and even I am wondering what the hell I'm going to do for Protein. I was not a very good vegetarian (hence me having to get surgery) - I relied on bread, cheese, pastas, etc. I get my surgery done next week and I'm kind of winging it I guess. I will figure it out as I go. Nothing like being thrown in at the deep end :)

Frou I feel you. From the surgery I became lactose intolerant and bread upsets stomach so that is a plus there. For Protein I do different kinds of nuts/seeds(careful to not overdue it on them because it's easy), different types of Beans (kidney and black are my fav), vegetables and ofcourse the organic vegan Protein Powder among other things. I go off and drink the WAS pre made Protein Drinks from Walmart at times along with the great value protein bars(0 carbs 0 cholesterol and 10 protein). If you wanna have more contact I'll give you my email or Facebook messanger name. There is alot more that I have to tell you....

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
