  1. Being Vegan its kind of hard to get a high number of Cal. in but I'm getting between 400-600 I try hard to reach as close to 600 as possible. I do not take in any sugar of any kind and I do not snack at all. I actually have an alarm set for my meal times. I have not gotten in fruit yet because I do get dumping syndrome and I'm actually scared fruit will be to sweet...for anyone who has not gotten that..OH MAN :-/ I think the closest I get to sweet is unsweet soy vanilla yogurt and that seems to settle well with me. I have actually started lifting weights today, not to much but just trying to tone. But when that scale says I gained it actually makes me cry..I did not have a good experience with my WLS so to not lose is heart breaking.
  2. Had my WLS on Nov. 11.15 and I lost like crazy the first 2 weeks, I know that was all water weight. Then I would not lose anything up until a week ago and I gained 4 pounds and im just sitting there. I walk a mile a day and do Extreme hip hop step 30 min. every day. I am only eating soft foods at ½ cup 3-4 times a day. I am also 100% Vegan. I am getting in my water and my protein. I called my Nutritionist and pretty much got no help. I am really starting to freak out, and of course I live in the mountains where there is no physical support group. Can anyone tell me if this is normal? Or has it happened to someone else? Am I doing something wrong or did the WLS just NOT work for me? Honestly I was losing more before I had the WLS, I lost 101 lbs on my own before :-(

    Vegetarian/Vegan RNY Oct. 2014 surgery

    I was already a Vegan before my RNY and I have had no problems at all getting in my protein. I will never go back to being a meat eater. I feel amazing and lost 101 lbs before my RNY. Here is a list of high protein foods...Seitan 3 oz has 21 g protein, Black beans 1 cup 15 g, chickpeas 1 cup 15 g, pinto beans 1 cup 15 g, tofu 4 oz 11 g. I could go on forever lol. And as for your protein shakes, Orgain Organic Protein Plant-Based Powder, Vanilla Bean is amazing and you can get it on Amazon. Most of the people that work in my WLS office have switched to using it :-)
