Been doing a lot of reading and scaled back on the number of posts mainly because I've been doing a lot of homework about plant based diets and WLS. I'm am not sold on high protein low carb diets. Never have been and it won't be my lifestyle. With that said, I do believe I need to have a good amount of protein for certain factors in the diet and exercise. I was impressed to find a post from a few years back of a person doing plant based and losing weight just as well as any other. She doesn't have to take all the vitamins because she gets them from food. Her blood work showed it....now, that is inspiring.

I'm trying to add more plant-based foods into my diet, but it's been hard as I have so focused on getting protein in for the past few weeks. Also, my new belly reacts much more to various fruits and vegetables that I still have to be careful with what, and how much, I eat. The other day I had my first real feeling of fullness/needing to throw up - the amount I ate was normal, but the veggies (spinach) and fruit (a couple of strawberries) were what put me over. Definitely don't want to do (or feel) that again!
Anyway...if you find good sources on how to this the vegetarian way, I'd be interested in them!

You described what I'm kind of anticipating or worried about, not being able to do most plants until my stomach is ready. I guess I'll be doing it little by little. But I know for sure , when I make my protein shakes early on, I'll be including my green bombs (nutritionist approved) so maybe my stomach will be able to handle it all when I go to solids. Here is a good list of plant sourced protein.
