i'll be banded soon and just wondering what other vegetarians out there are eating post-op.

are you having a lot of Protein shakes or ??

I would like to hear some responses to this question, too. I haven't been banded and am still in the inquiry stage.

I am not a vegetarian, but after being banded I have much trouble eating meat. The protein shakes get old and I have tried many types. I drink a protein shake for breakfast. I also eat Atkins protein bars sometimes.

I found some consentrated protein "shots" at bariactric choice that have more protein than many of the shakes.

I take a shot every day and get 18g protein in just 1 ounce. They taste bad, but it is like taking medicine. One gulp and you get all that protein.

Greek yogurt by Fage! You can buy it in stores like Natural Grocers, Wild Oats, and other "health food" stores. One serving has 21 grams of protien--and if you buy the zero fat version, it has zero grams of fat! I like it a lot and I stir it into all sorts of things.
