 I'm most likely bringing Bonnie and nancy.

 I've been a vegan for a lot of my adult life and understand all of the reasons for wanting to do so.  That said, I don't think that I could take the weight off after VSG without the protein to keep me healthy.  You might find yourself willing to think about what you might do short term to drop the weight, then find a good Bariatric nutritionist to help you formulate a plan to keep it off in a healthy way.  Zone bars are not going to help you in achieving the body you want to live in when you're in your 60's like me.  Please pay attention to your nutrition so that you'll have a full vibrant life.

I just had plastics with Dr. Sauceda in Mexico. He's much cheaper than kaiser!
