Vegetarianism?
Vegetarianism: is this a plausible thing for people who have had bariatric surgery?
Thanks!

...then I got pregnant and craved burgers and never looked back...
But veganism is possible. It just takes a lot of work, research, food preparation and dedication.

I am 4 years post RNY and maintaining my weight and labs just fine on mostly rice n beans .
Incidentally , rice , beans , tofu , vegan almond milk cheeses and fresh homegrown organic veggies ( and protein shakes yum! ) are utterly delicious....

Good luck with your research!

Our system needs LOTS of protein and the only way to get 80-150 grams a day, every day, is thru meat.
