Glove, yes I have seen and read both and had the chance to meet dr. Bernard from forks over knives. Since he is local to the DC area.

I'm new to this group. Like most of you I'm scared, scared of failing. But that is another issue. I have my cardio and psych visits scheduled and I'm self pay so I'm hoping to have the surgery in April or May depending on my work schedule. I have a lot of questions but my first is has anybody gone into this already a Vegan? I told my suregeon up front that I will not eat any animal based foods. Just want some thoughts and personal stories. Thanks for sharing. Buffalo Gyrl

Ha I have no willpower that is i'm in this situation! Lol! I don't understand restrictions? And fills? Have only met ith dr. Once for about 10 minutes. I just want to be skinny!

Allison, thanks for the info. I don't eat a lot of processed foods so that is not my worry. I eat a lot of fresh veges, how do u do with those? Also howdid u do liquid? I asked if I can juice my veges and fruit and add some vegan protein and dr..said not right after surgery just wants protein shakes....honestly I hate that crap i much rather eat real food vs some chemical crap....
