Here's a couple more to add to that conversation:

I've had a slippage (I hope she didn't break anything when she fell)

liquid Hell (I thought hell was on fire, when did it flood?)

Mushies (Looks like she still has all of her teeth, do you think those are dentures?)

when your mother invites you to dinner and lists each item on the menu and asks "Can you eat that" after reading after each item.

when the first thing out of someone's mouth you haven't seen in a while is "So, how much have you lost?" :angry:

My gosh! I laughed so hard at these.

You know you wanna be a bandster when:

  • You are actually excited about going for a psych evaluation, upper GI, gallbladder ultrasound, EKG, and blood tests.
  • Your doctor starts you on your liquid diet for two long weeks.

*no longer buy fast food because you don't want to waste the money (all you can eat is maybe 2 bites and 2 fries)

*You have to choose between having an egg OR bacon for Breakfast

*the site of bread (or any bread-like product) makes you nauseous (sorry, this one is personal for me, can no longer eat bread, comes back up)

*Compulsively ask other bandsters who have lost lots of weight how they did it

*have to find other things to do because now there is so much free time

*Looking forward to the next cruise for the actual vacation and not the food

:angry:

...when you say, "I'm so full." And mean it.

When you say "I'm so full it's about to come out of my nose" and you REALLY mean it.

When instead of seeing "A LA Carte or dinner Entrees" on the top of your menu, it says "childrens'" or "Appetisers".

When you realize that this board is your family and it's the place where everyone understands you and never cares how often you whine or ask questions heard before (maybe not funny, but very real and true).

      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? 🤷‍♀️
