Going to the movies no longer means diving headfirst into a giant tub of buttered popcorn...

I'm not sure if I'm happy about that or not!:mellow:

....your tummy talks more than you do at mealtime.

... you notice how fast people eat and the huge bites they take.

... you can share a slice of pizza with your toddler and feel totally full if not overfull when, in the past, two slices would have been barely enough!

...one Lean Cuisine lasts an hour.

...every meal lasts an hour.

I remember going to the movies and finishing up that giant tub of buttered popcorn. Then after the movie I would have to resist the urge to go and finish the popcorn that was left behind by all the skinny folks. :tt2::cursing:

Heres one,

A new waitress at your fav rest keeps asking you "is something wrong with your food" and then you hear your usual waitress say "she had surgery and has to eat really really slow, just take her a to go box":tongue_smilie:

You know you are a bandster when your new gummie chewable vitamins taste like candy and you have to resist the urge to eat more than two.

.....when a co-worker taste's your diet snapple and tells you it taste's like crap and you drink them all the time..

.....when you and your child can share a happy meal!

......when your husband knows before you that something your eating is going to get stuck....

What a great thread.......i love it!:thumbup:

When instead of taking the tram at the Seattle WA airport you rather walk to the next concourse.

instead of taking the shuttle from the parking lot to your office building, you walk because it's less than half a mile and it's a beautiful sunny day! :P

a Bodybugg is something you're willing to pay for instead of something you visit the doctor to get rid of! :P

A sad "know your a Bandster when"

You roll over in the middle of the night, and feel a bump in the bed. Thinking you have a rolled up sheet only to find out it is just your LOOSE SKIN !!!!!!! ;-(

That may be sad, but I will be glad when I have lost enough weight for that to be a problem.

You look at the serving size of Triscuts and think "7 crackers - I'll never eat all those, so you take 3 and are full"

You can make more then one meal out of a can of tuna.

There are more clothes in your garage then there are in your closet

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
