How do you get your protein? I think Vegans are cool and i admire their ability to stay away from meat, i just cant though  |

The closest I get to being a vegetarian is when I eat pizza. I don't like the grease residue from meat on my pizza. I order everything but meat and anchovies.

i get protien from other sources such as tofu, soy milk, cheese etc...i am not on dialysis yet...but my catheter for home PD is being put in on Sept 26, 2007.
I think when my diet changes on dialysis it is going to be a real challenge for me...but where there's a will there's a way...

Do you eat eggs and fish? Just asking because I know some vegetarians are stricter than others. We were vegetarians for many years until both my wife and son started to get anemia problems. We still eat from a little of both worlds just because it's healthier. I am not on dialysis though so I can't offer you any advice or suggestions on the matter. |

i do eat eggs but not fish...even when I did eat meat, i wasnt a great fish fan...there are loads of alternatives out there, i am just in the process of learning about what i can and cant eat...frankly, here in Canada, my dr's havent been the most forthcoming with diet info...i have learned so much more here...

Well i know one thing is that they are going to tell you no more cheese, that is high in phosphorus. Good luck and let us know what they say  |

A vegetarian friend sent me this video. I was not able to watch more than the first few seconds. It would make you leave commercial meat alone and either raise your own livestock or be vegetarian. www.meat.org/Prefs1.asp?video=meet_your_meat |
