Veggie Meats

[maddmaxx 8]

How about the veggie meat products are they something to consider id like to stay away from meat as a Protein source. also what about hummus after surgury

I personally love the Gardein fake meat products. They are high in Protein and actually taste great to me. If nothing else at least try the Gardein Beefless Tips, they are seriously awesome. Next best is the Quorn brand, they have some "chicken" patties that seem a lot like actual chicken patties. I have been told that too much of these products can cause some stomach problems, but I have not had any problems with them so far. I don't see any reason why you cannot have hummus after surgery once you are in your pureed stage.

Oh yes, the Morning Star Grillers Prime are excellent, in my opinion, but haven't tried too much of their other products.

Where do you buy the Gardein products? I don't think I have seen them! Only 5 days til my sleeve! YAY

I live in a pretty small city so only one of our grocery stores carries them - Fry's

But I know there is a huge selection at Whole Foods Markets and I am pretty sure Trader Joe's might even have them. Any whole foods type place should carry them, or in the organic/healthy section at your largest grocery store.

Thanks! I live right across the street from Trader Joe's and not far from Walmart or Whole Foods so i should be able to find them. Sounds so good since I am right now on a liquid diet!
