I had my surgery about 5 months ago and am interested in being vegetarian. We’ve been doing Hello Fresh and I’m preferring the vegetarian meals most of the time and all meat besides steak doesn’t feel very pleasant to eat.
I know ethically it’s better to be vegan but I think it will be too difficult with my current dietary restrictions.
I have to get at least 60 g of protein a day and I only have room for about 2-3 oz of food per meal (I eat 3 meals a day). Does this seem doable as a vegetarian? I’m going to talk about it with my doctor, but it feels like it would be. I might need to add a protein shake or 2 into the routine.
It’s not just morals for me, although that is a big factor. It’s been pretty difficult to eat all meat except steak and fish. Like it just doesn’t sit well and every time I eat I find myself wishing it was black beans instead.
Maybe I’ll try pescatarian to start. I’m not going to make any changes until speaking to my doctor though.
