Any way to do this without meat, beans, and yogurt?
I hate beans and yogurt and I've been studying buddhism and would like to go vegetarian. HOw can I do this and be vegetarian? I want to eat as natural as possible so no fake meat subsitute stuff. Can I lose weight doing this? I have a lot to lose and don't want to mess it up. It's very imortant to me to cut these things out of my diet. My cholesterol is dangerously high and I just need a change. i want to feel better. any suggestions how to go about this stuff?
Are you pre or post op? There are vegetarians that do it, but you are really limiting yourself by eliminating beans and "fake meat" (which is generally soy). I'm sure you could it but I think I'd hate my life. Why do you want to be vegetarian?

CAN you? Sure. Absolutely. But you will make weight loss much more difficult. And you will also make getting in necessary nutrients, protein especially, much harder.
WLS works best if we focus on dense protein first. It's rule number one. You can be successful ignoring it, but it is much, much harder.
Every once in a whie someone comes along with the same idea, but in our community, it doesn't stick.
