I’m in a similar boat. Congratulations on your weight loss! I had to have bariatric surgery to get my eating under control, so I know how immensely challenging it is.

Because of my surgery, it’s just not possible to be vegan. I have to get 60g of protein per day and can only fit about 1 cup of food in my stomach at a time. It’s just not possible to get that much protein in the amount of vegan food I can fit in my stomach.

I can have protein based milk alternatives like soy milk and I’m also a big fan of tofu, but meat is just a lot more protein dense. I’ve just accepted that I’m going to die if meat or vitamins become unavailable in the future.

I'll never forget the time I decided to share my joy with Hexbear over having lost 150+lbs after struggling with my weight - and correlating severe depression - trying about a dozen weight loss methods for more than a decade... and then got bullied for not being able to tackle this insurmountable challenge of my life while being vegan about it, lol.

congrats on that. sorry some people are feral here. eating issues are awful, i have some of my own but on the opposite end of it, im way too tiny. totally recommend blocking the vegan comm if you got food triggers
