Any sleevers that went Vegan to get back on track?
Not me. My bff is vegan and there's no way I'd be able to get the right amount of protein and carbs in my diet if I was maintaining her diet.

way before my RNy I went vegan... for 6 months I ate vegan - all natural (minimally processed ) foods... in 6 months I gained 50 lbs.. even my naturopathic doc told me to start eating meat and fish, eggs.. she said "some people are not meant to be vegan.. you are one of them.."
we hold on to 6 months because she wanted to make sure... and she was convinced that one day my body will let go ..
Yea - later on I discovered that I had insulin resistance... and allergy to soy, can't digest corn... gluten intolerance... etc etc...
make sure you doing that for right reasons...

Hey Brandi,
I am vegan, 13 years out now, unsure if you might get a notice for this. I didnt do it for weight - but for health issues (ringing in my ears that made me understand why people would hurt themselves because of it.).
Are you good? Is your baby boy in college yet? :}
Love,
BrandiLynnWonderland, B.
VSG with Dr. Alvarez in 04.2009. Maintain 130 lb loss - not by depending on surgical restriction or food rules. Change your mind, change your life.
