Are there any vegetarian or pescetarians out there?
Hi everyone!
I am pre-op. Surgery isn't scheduled yet, but it will be when I go to my pre-op appt on Feb. 5. I have been off of meat for a few years now and I would like to stay that way. I do eat fish and shrimp.
Can anyone share their experiences going through WLS as a vegetarian or pescetarian? How did it impact your weight loss and digestion?

I'm a vegetarian. I do eat dairy. I'm not sure how it impacted my weight loss, really, since I have no way of knowing what my weight loss would have been if I'd eaten meat. I reached my goal weight and have maintained a weight I'm happy with now, six years post op.
