Partial Vegitarian....
I've know a few vegetarians over the years and it is a struggle. As PattyL said, avoiding carbs/sugar especially during the honeymoon period (first 12-18 months post-op) will help with optimum weight loss. Beans/legumes can definitely be an issue with bloating/gas. Tofu would definitely be a good option. Of course there are always protein supplements.

Thank you, both!
I do understand that the carbs and sugars will be a challenge. While I'm working with the dietician I'm learning what exactly a carb is (a lot of things are). I'm systematically replacing or eliminating these NOW. Both are elements that I've needed to get into control anyway. I'm maximizing this time. :)

what vegetables do you eat?
As long as you can tolerate dairy and eggs -plus chicken and beef - you should be fine.
No pork? lots of people use bacon. Plus some pork is less expensive than beef (most of the time).

I'm a partial vegetarian too! For about 23 hours of every day, I eat no animal products.
