Since you have been a vegetarian for 60 years I am sure you are knowledgeable about what to eat and how to manage your dietary needs with a meat free diet.
Are cheese and eggs acceptable? Excellent protein sources with many options for delicious dishes.
Beans and corn are complementary amino acids. Eaten together they provide excellent protein. Black beans and corn, out of a couple of cans, mixed together. Options for several meals. Eaten cold as a salad embellished with sliced sweet red pepper, some red onion. Eaten hot with an egg (if allowable.) Corn tortilla with refried beans, maybe some shredded cheese, sliced lettuce.
Agreed it is outrageous that you are paying for meals and are served what you cannot eat. But right now the important thing is to build yourself up for the potential surgery.
