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

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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
