Some surgeons have a required diet...some don't. Remember WLS is a tool so you'll have to change your eating & lifestyle. I'm not much of a meat eater either. What you eat will depend on how long after WLS, especially the first year. At 2 years out next month I still do not feel hunger. I eat 5-6 small (1/4 cup) meals per day. No snacks. Some high protein & foods I eat are: refried beans, greek yogurt, turkey, cheese, cottage cheese, fresh low-starch veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage), fresh fruits (I put into yogurt or cottage cheese), & lots of soups made with meat. (Even though I don't like most meat I can handle it when it's cut into small pieces & added to home made soup.) I try to eat mostly homemade foods. I often add unflavored protein into dishes...the family doesn't know the difference:-) Even at that I still do not eat enough to get in 60g protein so I also drink protein supplements. My most recent labs were 100% perfect so I'm eating right. Hope this helps.
