Ive done something like that. The recipe I had was from a paleo website. I dont think had bread crumbs, but did have some blue cheese mixed in. Was delicious.
No idea if thats ok for post op, since I'm not there.
I am by no means an expert, but will chime in with my opinion anyway, since you asked. At least after weight loss surgery, being a vegetarian can be very hard. Being vegan, nearly impossible. If you are a vegetarian, but easy dairy products and eggs, it may be a little easier.
We have a certain amount of protein that we need to eat in a day, and if you eat juse veggies, that can mean eating A LOT of veggies to try to get it in. After weight loss surgery, our stomachs are tiny. Soy has a lot of protein, but it is a little controversial because it has a lot of plant based estrogen. I can't eat it because I have a soy allergy.
My husbands doctor recommends he goes paleo, which makes a lot of sense. You will find many doctors that recommend completely different things.
Putting this on my wish list for when I hit solid foods. Thank you!!

If you were raised in a culture that did not eat meat, then a vegetarian lifestyle would be a healthy choice for you. If not, then vegetarianism will just be another fad. One member on this site did vegetarian for three years. She gained 100 pounds and her iron went extremely low.
She had weight loss surgery, eats meat, and has lost the excess weight.
I have seen several people gain into the 300's just by eating vegetarian. Listen to your cardio and consider a different GP.

It's mostly pure protein and the numbers are great. Plus, like my using zucchini spaghetti in lieu of pasta is not a trigger . . .this serves the same purpose. I prefer using a cloud bun for tuna or whatever, rather than a lettuce wrap. 2 halves of my cloud bread are 43 cals, 0 carbs, and 4 gms of protein.

Oh my gosh, I just came to this forum to post about the exact same thing! I made a batch last night and was supposed to have a "sandwich" for lunch today, but my hubby called last minute and took me out on a lunch date. So I'll be trying it tonight. What did you think?
I was trying to talk to my husband about it over lunch today and was wondering if this would be a trigger food or a slippery slope to bringing back bad habits (I made a joke about bringing them to an Indian restaurant and sopping up sauces with it like naan). He didn't think my joke was funny and said that no food should be a trigger for me at 9 months out, I should be over those issues. I've got to think more on that one.
Anyway, back to the "bread". I didn't think they were too hard to make and am excited about the prospect of "toast". I calculated about 28 calories per "slice" and 1.8 grams of protein.
If anyone else has made them or has thoughts on adding them to meal plans, let me know. My question was going to be around it being a trigger food or just "empty" calories and should it be avoided.

That sounds really good my wife bought me one of those air fryers, so we cooked our turkey in the oven, then did our roast potatoes in the air fryer and it was actually really really good! Thanks for the recipe I will try it out for sure!
