OK, I just had to jump in on this. However, I don't know if it's already been said.

When you look forward to getting a needle in your stomach, you must be a bandster.

Hi JucyC! :puke: If you want more personal responses, click here & then click on the "New Thread" button. That way folks will see your post! :eek: Glad you liked our fun! :puke: And welcome to LBT!

If you went out to Easter lunch with your family & they got appetizers & meals & dessert & are STILL done before you've had your chicken breast & you have to get a "to go" box because they're tired of waiting for you & you stare at your chicken wishing you could just will it into your stomach, lol... you just might be a bandster! (Nah, that's not a run-on sentence! :))

If you're at a restaurant & everyone's ordering drinks & you seriously can't figure out what to say that will get her to quit asking you for your drink order... you might be a bandster! :der:

If your sister-in-law leans over & says, "Wow, you sure worked a lot during this meal, but you didn't eat ANYTHING!"... you just might be a bandster! (And oh how sweet those words were!)

You might be a bandster if Easter dinner is at 1:30 and you don't show up until 3pm.:nervous

You might be a bandster if you take flowers to the Easter dinner host instead of candy for the kids. :clap2:

You might be a bandster if you desperately want fried shrimp and you finally get it and the order comes with fries but you know you can't eat the fries. Finally, you eat 2 shimp and upset that you can't eat the rest so you friend helps you out by eating the fries and I LET him have 1 shrimp :angry because I know before the night is over I WILL eat the other 5 shrimp.:hungry:

If brushing your teeth is your tastebuds highlight of the day, you might be a banster.

If flossing your teeth with berry flavored floss is a close second, you might be a banster.

If your stomach growels loud enough for the kids in the back of your van can hear it and your not experiencing hunger, you might be a banster.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
