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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
