Only thing I can think of is eggs and protein shakes.. Also, have you tried Fairlife milk ( 13 grams) and Special K protein cereal ( 10 grams )? They also make a chocolate milk.

I was a lacto-ovo-peco-tarian ( a vegatarian who eats eggs, milk products, and fish) for a year. I got protein from cottage cheese, greek yogurt, hummus, peanut butter, soy beans, quinoa, and protien bars.

Everything KristyAB said. There is also a nut milk (cashew and almond) by Silk with 10g of protein. Eggs and dairy have a lot of protein. Grains like quinoa have a lot of protein. And of course, edamame, tofu, seitan, nut butters, beans and hummus (from chickpeas.)

Totally doable. There are many of us here doing a more plant based diet. I don't worry about protein and carbs, but I do have an egg and some cheese occasionally. I'm mostly doing vegan though.

There are a few threads under Food and Nutrition:Vegetarian and Vegan Eating if you'd like to join and discuss.

Go see your nutritionist.

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I used to be a vegan and plan on returning to it. For the first couple of months or first year i will probably be peco vegetarian. Vegetarian and vegan products have really bombarded the market. Vega has some great 20 gram protein shakes. There's a vegan protein weight loss shake pgx satisfast with 20 grams. Garden of life has a whopping 28 grams. If whey is your thing body fortress has 30 grams for one scoop/ 60 for 2. All low carb/ low sugar. Hope this helps.

I'm 3 and 1/2 years out and vegan. No worries. Plenty of protein. Plenty to eat. I'm at 110. I don't think I could gain weight if I tried. Not being vegan and doing it right.

Have you tried TVP ( textured vegetable protein)...... I made meatloaf with it three nights ago and my kids couldn't tell the difference. Tonight I am making chili with it. I don't think they'll be able to tell the difference with the chili either.
