your sister who you haven't seen in a year, greets you at the airport with a hug and a whispered "oh no, are you sick"

This thread is so awesome!

You know you are a bandster when...

Even your bras are getting smaller, but you refuse to buy new ones because you KNOW your size will change again in a few days / weeks...

You haunt EBay for clothes because they are cheaper there...

The letters PB give you shivers cause you know how AWFUL productive burping can be...

Getting a fill doesn't involve a trip to the dentist...

You wear a BodyBugg and it's not something you have to call the exterminator or a doctor for...

You know the calorie count of every piece of fruit in the supermarket without checking a book, a website, or the tags on the bins...

You can eat a sandwich made from those paper-thin slices of bread that you used to sneer at in the grocery store...

When you ALWAYS Water down your soda so the carbonation doesn't cause you problems if you drink it at all...

When the smell of fried food that used to make you salivate now makes you nauseous...

Gimme a few minutes, I'll find more! :confused:

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

Sooo true, I'm getting sick of it already...So I just say, I haven't weighed myself in a while...when you guys know how addictive the scale is to bandsters :lol:

I know that this has been mentioned before, but since I am experiencing it right now...

You know you are a bandster when the thermastat reads 78 degrees, but your feet feel like ice cubes.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
