Going Vegetarian

Never thought i would say this but 5 weeks out and I think im gonna have to go vegatarian seems my body cant tolerate the chicken, fish or stake.
Well not completely veggy it will tolerate chopped meat so im looking for all kinds of recipes for it, since everytime i try to eat the rest of the meats I throw up all night long. Ive gone back to yogurt and cottage cheese mainly during the day!!!!!!!  I need to find something that will stay down before my body decides to go into starvation mode.

Hi,
its early days yet. I was still on pureed foods at 5 weeks and didn't start eating solids until I was 3 months out and then slowly introduced them.
I love cheese and eat it every meal with meat or fish. I find tined tuna easier to digest, chicken took a bit longer.
How about starting with baby food? I was eating yoghurt and pureed apples and pureed vegetables until 3 months out. I had my operation July 2009 and am nearly at goal. I am 112 pounds but would like to be 110.
Just remember, baby steps. Take things slowly. A bit soon for meat and it will take a while until you go into starvation mode. I started with eating about 300- 500 calories a day and now am eating 900-1200 a day.

For the most part I have been vegetarian since my WLS 12/05.  Sometimes I can tolerate meat, but often time I cannot. 

I do semi OK with a few very small bites of chicken or extremely lean steak.  Fish doesn't bother me at all.  I make up for the meat by eating yogurt, legumes and cheese--I must have 12 different cheeses in my refrigerator right now.

I have a niece age 28 who has been a vegetarian since she was in her early teens.  As she puts it, she doesn't eat anything that has eyes but she doesn't eath shellfish either.  She is one of the healthiest people I know and runs mini-marathons.  On the other hand, her fiance is a meat eater and is equally fit. 

I realize your post is not about the advantages/disadvantages of being a vegetarian.  Look at the Diet and Nutrition Forum for stages of your post-op diet.  Also, use the services of the nutritionist at your surgeon's office.  They are used to dealing with post-op dietary problems and may be able to customize a temp diet to help you at this point.

I've been a vegetarian since 1970.  I eat a lot of tofu, which is easy to digest, as well as the many  "veat" (vegetarian "meat" subsitutes) on the market, plus cheese, cheese and more cheese and yogurt.  It doesn't really matter what form you get you protein in as long as you get your 65 grams (or whatever your surgeon recommends) without a lot of additional fat, sugar or carbs.
