You know you're a bandster when.....



Recommended Posts

You pull out a pair of knee socks from three years ago (that used to fit your much-bigger calves), then spend the rest of the day having to tug 'em up!!

Seriously.. I thought I'd accidentally put on stockings, but they are pre-surgery socks with stretched-out elastic!! Yikes!

When do YOU know you're a bandster?? :)

When your 3 year old mimics you at dinner saying "it's not going down, it's getting stuck" Do I really sound like that?? LOL

Seriously! Now instead of people belching after dinner and the kids going "eww... who did that one?", now we have "Mommy, what is wrong with your tummy??" just from the CRAZY and LOUD alien style gurgling noises!

When just the sight of a New York bagel is more frightening to think about than any horror movie ever was.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
