Im not a vegetarian but there are definitely ways to get enough protein... You will have to supplement after surgery. There are endless options with Protein Shakes, powders, juices and bars. And of course you will just have to make sure when you do eat, that it is Protein rich.

Are there any vegetarians out there ? And is it possible to get enough Protein if you don't eat meat ?

I met someone this week who showed me the protien powder she uses and it is a completely plant based protien powder. I will try to get the name of it for you if you want.

There is a veggie meat called smart ground that is a good source of Protein and tastes great. I'm not vegetarian but I like it and cook with it frequently. Nobody knows unless I tell them :)

I am also concerned about getting in enough Protein being that I don't really like meat or fish. Veggie burgers are great, but are they tolerable after surgery?

Edamame is a pretty good sorce of Protein it's like 18 grams for a cup I love it I haven't had surgery yet but it's def a great snack it's in the frozen section at wal Mart or all natural section of grocery store... My sister has chrones and she went gluten free and she got me addicted to it :)

Its so nice to meet fellow veggies ! I love Edamame, I haven't had it in a long time. I had no idea it was so high in Protein. I'm going to stock up ! Yum ! It will be great for night time snacking. I LOVE smart ground. I use it all the time and lots of black Beans too. I'm definitly going to check out that blog too. Thank you all for the great ideas !

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
