Of course I'm not accusin' you of being a Quayle. You know exactly how many "E"'s are in the word Potatoe :blink:

Besides, even to call you Quayle is a compliment about your ability to survive (stay with me here)...

Quayle sounds like Quail - the bird that Dick Cheney likes to hunt. They are such smart birds that, if you let them out of a cage in the middle of a group of hunters, they can trick the hunters into shooting each other!

(OK... that was a long way for a very bad joke.... I am sorry) :)

Beth - Quayle spelled it "potatoe"; thus Steve's joke above!

That was good, actually!!! My nuclear family's anti-gun. My parents used to joke about how people needed guns to watch out for the "killer quail" so it was esp applicable to me!

Beth - Less than 2 weeks til surgery! Figure out now what Protein Shakes you can tolerate er stomach. Get it? har har. I didn't take into account just how much I would need for 3 weeks of liquids so I've gone shopping more than I had intended to. My two cents.

SnT & Beth - not sure if i mentioned this, but my FAVE Protein shake is muscle milk... it is pretty high in fat / cals but it's very filling.... i drank it daily when i was working my ass off at the gym....

regular = 2 scoops - 300 cals 12g fat 32g Protein

lite = 2 scoops - 195 cals 6g fat 25g protein

(personally, i'd just do the regular for the variety)

if you dont want the regular, they do have a 'light version'

the regular version has a BUNCH of flavors - my fave was probably peanut butter/chocolate and Mocha Latte...

cake batter was WAYYYY too sweet

the light has fewer flavors and i've never tried them, but i've heard they are good!!

i bought mine thru Bodybuilding.com - CytoSport Product Listing - On Sale! Lowest Prices For CytoSport! FABULOUS customer service, fast shipping and good prices... (not affiliated, just happy customer)

but i know Vitamin Shoppe also has it - im sure GNC does too...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
