...the inexpensive "door mount" mirrors at the local discount hardware or home improvement store are big enough to show your entire body from side to side!

...you scope out restaurants with a great appetizer menu because you KNOW that's all you'll be able to eat!:wink2:

watching a nature programme you finally understand perfectly the difference between vomiting and regurgitation!

(Sorry if that one is gross)

You're strip searched at the airport because you no longer look like your passport photo.

I fly allot and am always getting the second look when they look at my photo and the way I look in my passport and how I look live.

Next March my license expires so I may break down and go in and get another photo and get the correct weight on my license.:sad:

LOL, getting a new license is great fun.

You know you are a bandster when . . . you go into renew your license and discover you weigh considerably less than the "pretend" number you told them last time, lol. This actually happened to me last year. :D

You know you are going down another pant size because your pants make you look like you have a baggy butt.

Okay, who's been peeking in MY closet! LOL

Oh so true!

You order your child size portion with a side of to-go-box.

ROFLOL!

Here's another: You know you're a bandster when you no longer have to look at the "fully covered" costumes for Halloween because you've lost enough weight and inches that you fit into the "Sexy..." whatever costumes!

...when you start to stalk plastic surgeon's websites for good before-and-after pictures of tummy surgery so you can visualize what YOURS will look like!

...when even your SHOES are getting too loose!

...when you don't mind being a little shorter because you've lost the fat pads on the bottom of your feet!

Let's keep 'em coming! :)

hahaha yes! I second the "sexy costume!"

Just had my first Halloween as a sexy bar maid and never felt more beautiful! Thank you lap band!

Also, you know you're a bandster when you have to budget in new clothing for you're 2010 finances! :)

You know your a bandster when you are really getting rid of the clothes you have outgrown rather than secertly hiding them so you will have something to wear when you regain that weight.

Love this one Ellen!

Adding my own this morning:

You know you are a bandster when the local tailor / alterations shop knows you by name because you keep coming in to have clothes re-measured before you get them altered - the weight loss just keeps coming! :thumbup: :thumbup: :eek:

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
