when you keep things like peanuts and beef Jerky for an emergency meal instead of the candy bars that used to take up space. lol:thumbup:

I still keep candy bars in my desk, just the 100 claorie ones, along with the beef jerky and peanuts. :thumbs_down:

7_5_142.gif I love this thread! I have a few. Mine aren't funny tho.

1.) When your favorite food pre surgery is no longer your favorite food.< /p>

personal experience here. my taste has changed. I hate bread now!

It doesn't get stuck, I just don't like it, not even grilled cheese!

2.) You think about how much you are chewing your food. chew, chew,

chew!

3.) you stop studying chairs to see if they are sturdy enough to hold you

4.) When you show the waiter/tress your LB card stating to let you order from the kids menu.

5.) people who know you have the band watch what you eat

6.) falling in love all over again......with garage sales and thrift stores.(because your loosing so fast you don't want to buy brand new yet!)

You know you are a Bandster when the whole family asks "Is it stuck" just by the look on your face.

I just had this happen for the first time like 10 minutes ago. I guess my family will know, but when it happened, I just got up and walked away and my hubby just kept talking and then eventually he asked if everything was OK...LOL.:biggrin2:

...when the hottest rumor at work is that you're bulemic. (The girls just HATE it when I run into the stall to PB - yuck!)

HA HA!! THis is very funny to me because I work with all men and they had an intervention with me because they thought I had an eating disorder:thumbup:

My doctor gave me a card that he wrote on that says I have a medical reason for needing to order kids meals. I show that at restaurants when they give me crap for ordering off the kids menu

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
