You know you are a bandster when....



Recommended Posts

When you're on a fieldtrip with your kid and she tells everyone that you can't eat pizza because you are trying to be thinner.

and "My mom used to be fat."

you are now "allergic" to a lot more foods (pizza, beer, soda pop, birthday cake (or cake of any kind), bread of any kind, pasta)

I have found it easier to tell people I'm "allergic" when they inquire why I can't/won't eat something.

"When you ask to smell your hubby's brownie before he eats it"

I fell out on the floor when I read this one a few posts back!!!! I was laughing so hard the people passing by my office poked their head in to see what was going on. these are hilarious.

Here's a few more:

When your DH FINALLY stops asking if you want a beer.....

When your dog starts sleeping under the table because she KNOWS there will be left overs.

when everyone else in the family starts putting vanilla slim fast in their coffee.< /p>

When there are Flintstone Vitamins in every room of the house to remind you to take them.

When unsweetened applesauce, slim fast and tuna become standard travel items in your suitcase.

You know that new Domino's pizza commercial? The one that has the "warning" to close your eyes and block your ears if you don't want to save money on "piping hot pizza," well you really do close your eyes and block your ears!!!!!!

The first thing out of a persons mouth when you talk about food is, " I didn't think you could eat that."

Your pets get to know that "look" and sit patiently with you in the bathroom while you PB.

Your friends and co-workers modify menus at get togethers so that you can eat also.(I have awesome friends and co-workers!)

You know you are a bandster when your monthly appointments with your surgeon have people thinking that you are pregnant and going to the OB-GYN (again maybe that's just me)

You know your a bandster when you keep empty Water bottels handy just in case something comes back up.

You know your a bandster when your partner asks "not going down"?

      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!!
