Absolutely. I'm not vegetarian, but I do include beans and tofu in my diet.

The beans you'd probably want to puree and thin out until you're on solid

food - and the tofu you'd want to eat in little bites until then, too - but I

think both foods are excellent.

I also use soy milk and rice milk to make my protein smoothies, and no longer

drink cow's milk at all. But I had given it up before surgery anyway.

I think a vegetarian diet is in some ways the preferred one for postops - but

you need to plan to get in enough protein.

Good luck to you!
