veg DS

 hey!

i just got the duodenal switch 11 days back! i'm vegetarian - getting very negative feedback from 'normal' DSers - saying that i can't do it:(

anyway veggie DSers??

Hello Fluffy_me,

This group has been fairly inactive.  I just joined and am looking for other BS veggies to talk to.  After my Vertical Sleeve gastectomy in 2010, I chose to go vegan in 2014 rather than do the DS.  I have had a bit of success with it. It turns out it's not so hard to get your protein as a vegan. How are you doing 4 years after your DS? I hope you found support for being vegetarian.  I was happy to find that my BS surgeon's office now has a vegetarian nutritionist.  It' possible that his group was a little ahead of it's time in 2010.
