Vegetarian Needs Advice



Recommended Posts

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:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
