Hello,
I truly understand yout frustration! I too am a veggie, and it is VERY difficult to find alternatives. I actually do eat some chicken & turkey on occasion. I get very tired and that protein seems to help to combat that. I love Morningstar Farms veggie patty and their vegan burger. They are quick and easy and get something in your tummy when you are dying of hunger. I keep lots of homemade quick breads available on my counter (some of them are from Heather's cookbook). I use bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkin, dates, and oats in the breads so they are like a quick meal-in-one.
I drink Silk light and sometimes rice milk. If you are not used to soy, the taste does take a bit of getting used to. The plain is less soy-ish than the vanilla. I am not a cheese lover, so I don't miss that. Have you tried rice or soy cheese?
I don't know your reasons for being a veggie, but if you are a philosophical veg (like me), it is very difficult to eat any living animal. I only eat organic poultry that was raised on an old-fashioned farm (we know a farmer about an hour away that raises chickens). You might want to consider adding some chicken back to your diet just until you adjust better to Heather's eating plan. IBS sufferers have very limited diet choices, especially if you are a veggie, so you might want to eat your meals at home for a while.
I wish you luck!
