Vegan or Vegetarian RNY Mentor

[akaet 91]

Hi I'm vegan 3 years now. I love my plant based lifestyle. No animals or animal products are consumed by me. I also just had a revision on 7/16/17 I went from vertical banded Gastroplasty performed in 1993 to my current gastric bypass.
I'd love to chat with y'all too.
My email is aka_et@me.com
You can find me on Instagram and or Facebook. However I do not discuss anything about my weight loss surgery on either media account. I don't care to do so. But I do discuss being a vegan.

Hello everyone. I too am trying to eat plant based. All of the boost fasting 2 weeks before 2 weeks after put me into gout mode. If you've ever had it, you will do anything not to get it again. I read a book before surgery that was written by a gastric bypass surgeon called Proteinaholic by Garth Davis MD. He encourages all his patients to go plant based diet. I'm glad I found this group.

Hello,

I'm scheduled for a lap band revision to RNY on Dec. 12th. I've been vegan for 4 years now, so any help, or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I also read Proteinaholic by Garth Davis. I was trying to find a post surgery vegan diet and have not been able to locate one. Are you getting 50-60 grams of Protein a day? What is your main source of protein?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello Roadrunner,

Congratulations on your surgery date.

I have not been able to find a food menu for the Proteinaholic book either. At first, we can't eat from his menu.

i have been able to get my Protein in. However, i have not been just plant based. No meats, but cottage cheese, yogurts ect. Since I'm just 7 weeks out, i copped out and ate dairy.

I do eat legumes, Peanut Butter, nuts now, so that helps.

That’s great! Thanks for replying. How are you feeling? How is the weight loss going? I’m curious if vegans lose at the same rate as others.

Hi Roadrunner!

I actually feel amazing! I have lost 40 pounds since October 10th 2017.

I too would like to know how vegans lose compared to non vegans.

I am collecting vegan menus from Meal Mentor. I get new vegan recipes each week. She teaches "batch cooking" if you're into that.

Looks like you are doing great on your weight loss!

When did you have your surgery? You may have said, my apologies if I didn't remember.

I've been thinking about doing the meal mentor, also. I'm glad you like it, I think I'm going to subscribe, also. My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 12th...I'm really trying to make sure I have everything organized before then.

Forty pounds!!! That's awesome!! Congratulations, and I can't wait to continue following your progress!

[Deemar007 244]

Hi Roadrunner!

I'm excited for your upcoming surgrey. Wow! You're really close now!

Let's keep in touch.
