is it possible to stay a vegetarian after wls?
There are Vegan & Vegetarian Meal Replacement products out there, and don't forget good old Tofu ;)
You can do this, if you are strict, it is a matter of getting creative with your recipes. I am not vegetarian, but have been eating less meat for over a decade, it can be done, just depends on how creative you are!
Stay positive!

I've been pescitarian for several years... I eat fish, eggs and dairy, but no other meats, I did vsg about 2 months ago with no real issues. I picked vsg because my doc said the band is a bad choice for veggies, since the really heavy meats are what fill the band; this issue isn't so pronounced for vsg. At first it was fine.... On soffties, eggs, yogurt, etc is all you want to eat anyhow. Since I eat fish, I have reintroduced that and don't have trouble. I do also try the morningstr faux meats, but find that their denser and dryer textures make them difficult for me at this point. I understand that over time I will want to focus on denser protein to sty fuller longer, and I plan to use all of the boca burger and morningstar offerings, which have a ton of protein and are all reasonably low fat and easy to make.
I am not sure if I could do it without the fish... But you definitely dont need to go full blown with beef, pork, etc unless you want to.
