Can you Tolerate Soy Products Post Band?

[Electrawoman 5]

I am wondering how many of you eat soy and specialty veggie products with the band? I was a vegetarian for 13 years and found a large number of good soy products that provide a great source of Protein with very little fat/carbs. I am now rediscovering them on my preop diet.

Morningstar Farms is one of my favorite brands. I ate 2 veggie sausage patties this morning with an eggbeater's veggie omelet. The whole meal tasted awesome, was less than 300 calories and I got nearly half of my protein for the day out of it.

I am just curious now if I will be able to tolerate the foods post band.

****If anyone is curious about veg foods but afraid to try them, ask me for a list of the good stuff. From years of trial and error, I found a few gems that you can easily serve to meat-eaters and they never know the difference. I tried it all from Tofurkey to Quorn and Wheat meat. Trust me, you don't want to waste your money or your taste buds on the icky ones!

The hospital dietitian came to one of our lap band support group meetings to demonstrate many different ways to cook soy. So, I would say, in general, soy is very band friendly. I have also fixed some of the Morningstar Farms products, and they are tasty. The dietitian had some Fakin' Bacon, and I have to say, that stuff was baaad. LOL
