Any vegetarians or vegans??
i'm not a true vegetarian or vegan, but i do aim to have 1-2 vegan or vegetarian meals per day. personally, i wanted to lighten up my food choices and reduce animal fats and proteins. i'm not 100% consistent, but its my goal.
i used to be more of the "atkins" high animal protein mindset, but i think more and more research is coming out that shows that a plant based diet is overall healthier. obviously, with WLS, modifications may be necessary to achieve optimum nutrition. that's one of the reasons i don't make every meal vegan...and also cause i love me some bacon.
if you're interested in reading more, check out the book "VB6" by Mark Bittman, or just google him or check out the ny times online. he's written pretty extensively about it.
I might try the vegetarian route, but like the one young lady, I'm in love with BACON! I have always said I am willing to give up many things but scrambled eggs and bacon aren't one of them. I am willing to eat some turkey bacon to be healthier if necessary. I wish you the best. I guess it's just important to eat as healthy as possible.
Have you tried the Breakfast Strips from Morningstar Farms? They are not vegan, but don't contain any meat. They taste a lot like bacon to me. My 16 year old nephew loved BLT sandwiches made with them.

I've been a vegetarian for about 27 years. Or 28. I've lost count.
I periodically think about going vegan but haven't done so yet. I really like dairy.

I mostly just take "regular" recipes and adapt them. For instance, I found a recipe for white chicken chili and I make it with the fake chicken strips from Morningstar Farms instead of real chicken. I like allrecipes.com for finding recipes.
