You know you are a bandster when....



Recommended Posts

You know you're a bandster when.... you see a quarter on the ground and can bend down and pick it up without worrying if picking up the quarter will require major back surgery.

Amen to that.

When asked which restaurant you want to go to and you end up choosing something "high end" so the appetizer selection will be more than fried cheese sticks and nachos.

When shortly after a fill you go out to eat and order the french onion Soup (still on liquids) and are disappointed that they add cheese and bread to the soup.

Spent my time trying to push the soup out of the bread (bread was lining the bowl and i swear it had like a half inch of cheese melted on top at first i thought they got my order wrong)

I know what you mean, the waiter at my restaurant only plates half my food and keeps the other half in the kitchen until I'm ready to leave and brings it out in a to-go box.

Your current favorite meal is hot & sour soup....

without the crunchy noodles and all the veggies strained out of it.

Daughter keeps telling me I'm ruining a good bowl of soup! :)

... you force yourself to walk up and down the street in front of your house after walking the neighborhood so you can actually say you walked 30 minutes....

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
