I looked to see if there was a thread created for healthy vegan/vegetarian recipes. I didn't see any on the first page, so I created one here. Notice I noted HEALTHY...because we all know there are unhealthy ways of eating vegan/vegetarian diet. We can share our meals and pics (if you have any) with all those who are looking to follow a whole foods plant based diet. Happy sharing ya'll! Don't forget to follow the thread!!!

Thank you for sharing the websites!

Welcome! And congrats on your surgery hon. I hope someone can chime in for soft foods...cause I didn’t really change my diet to plant based until I was on solids. If I should find some time, I’ll do some research for you though. ?

I think the ricotta bake is vegetarian. If you do a google search you should find the recipe. Also the tofu Parmesan is vegitarian and soft. Welcome !!!

I ate a lot of refried beans. I also would pour some of the liquid out of lentil soup and put my immersion blender in it to eat the thickened lentils and vegetables. I ate greek yogurt and tofu. I think I was allowed to eat string cheese at that point as well. I was allowed to have eggs then, but only had them a few times at that stage.

I’m so excited to find this post. I’m scheduled for a revision Dev 12th from lap band to bypass. I’m a little confused on the vegan diet plan. I’ve been vegan for 4 years and intend on staying this way. My Dr. pushes protein, and I’ve read all of Dr Garth Davis books and follow him but I’m still confused on the amount of protein that is necessary. How much protein do you generally eat a day?

Also, there’s a lot of pasta recipes here which I love. When did you start adding pasta to your diet, and did it slow down your weight loss?

thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello Newme17! Thank you so much for sharing your recipes & for creating this site! I was sleeved 3 mos ago Aug. 16. As I started to add solids foods back into my diet I found that I can no longer tolerate All pork meat, cheese, eggs & now yogurt. Even greek yogurt! So I decided I would try eating healthy vegan style but I didnt know how to get started as well as to how to make sure I get in my recommended amount of protein(60-80g) daily! Any suggestions?

@niseys4 hey there. I apologize for not responding way sooner. I’ve been off the grid, so to speak, for a while. Hon, it was hard for me to make the transition, but I eventually did and I’m so happy I did too. What helped me immensely is using the vegan/vegetarian recipes on www.budgetbytes.com. Such a great site. I think I make about 85% of my meals from there. Check it out!

I’ll do my best to check in more often as well

Hey hon. I don’t count protein AT ALL. not worth the hassle, considering our bodies are not scientifically made for an overdose of it (the western diet pushes that). I just eat Whole Foods plant based and yes, I eat pasta too. ya not my favorite, but I’ll have some. If I have to pick apart my Foods by macro and micro nutrients, then carbs are my friends. Lol. But I don’t. My loss has slowed because I’m not working out. Still losing the pounds though. That’s all that counts to me. I’m not in a race. I also don’t weigh myself that much either.

As for my diet, I’m sticking to it. My doc/but is fine with it too. Actually got the surgeon reading Proteinaholic. ? yay me!!!

Sorry for the absence. I’ll do my best to share some more recipes soon!
