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 you pull the insides out of an egg roll to eat because the bread on it made you stuck. lol

...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

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
