What to Wear there ?
Wear loose fitting clothes,sweats work very well. Or your jammies. You dont want constrictive clothes, your stomach will probably be swollen from the gas they use to inflate your abdomen with and surgery itself can cause swelling,so yoy really want to be as comfortable as possible

Any nurses out there that have had VSG?
I think drs say 2 Weeks as a minimum,thinking people want to return to work asap. Afraid they will lose their job or something. Did he akso tell you that even though you can rwturn after 2 Weeks, you have a 15 lb lifting restriction for a month after surgery? So nothing heavier than a gallon of milk. My job will not let you return with any restrictions period. So if you can take the time do so

What are the best and tastiest protein bars?
My surgeon has this rule. A protein bar should have a 1:10 ratio Meaning if it has 150 calories it should have at least 15 grams of protein 200 calories-20 grams of protein Its not a hard fast ,or medically scientific. But the one thing we need most of all is protein and not wasted calories
