Vegetarian Needs Advice

[ghalib 0]

Hi Everyone,

This site is great for all the information and support so wanted to thank everyone. I had my innitial consultation with Dr. Curry in Cinci lsat week and am seriously considering the surgery. I am a pure vegetarian and I am wondering if this surgery will help me lose the weight I want too. So let me be clear. I don't eat red meat, poultry, eggs or seafood. So most of my diet consists of Wheat, Rice, Lentils and Vegetables.

So was wondering if there are any vegetarians out there who has done this surgery and have had success with it. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. I would like to have my surgery done in Nov.

Also any feedback on Dr. Curry would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Though I am not a full veg like you, I try to make my diet as animal free as possible. Having said that I live in Korea making it almost impossible to cut out all animal parts etc.

Losing weight with the band can however be possible for you. Look up recipes and stuff that consist of animal free products and use them after being banded.

To be honest many bandsters cant eat many animal products like eggs, meat etc. Therefore some people almost each like a veg.

A problem that might be for you is that sometimes bandsters cant eat many carbs like rice bread etc. However everyone is different.

I try to list recipes on my blog for bandsters of all kinds ( veg, vegan, carnivore etc) on my blog. If you want to read the experience of a veg trying to survive in Korea then check it out.

If you want some advice on some good recipes that will suit your needs and the band please let me know :smile:
