...eating off the kids' menu at the fast food restaurants is MORE than enough food!

...your clothing doesn't 'shrink' in the dryer any more, now it's all getting too big no matter HOW many times you run it through the dryer! :crying:

...you actually look FORWARD to getting on a plane for vacation because now you'll have room in the seat to move around!

...when you are trying on clothes in the fitting room and crying happy tears because you fit into a size you have seen since your teens! :crying:

...when all-you-can-eat buffets are now an ENORMOUS waste of your time and money, so you just don't go! :P

...when buying clothes in the cheap stores is no longer an issue because you're going to out-lose them in a few weeks anyway, so why spend a lot? :)

...when you're getting to be an expert at posting clothes for sale on EBay or Craigslist because your size keeps getting smaller...:lol:

You know you're a bandster when...

1) you buy chocolate chewable Multivitamins just to get some chocolate

2)a loveseat is a place you and your spouse can cuddle instead of just being a chair for you...

3)you eat a Jelly Belly jelly bean in your favorite soda flavor because you miss your Dr. Pepper..

4)when you dont consider candy orange slices a part of the fruit group...

:eek:

You increase the fuel miles on your car or truck because of less weight.

You medical costs go down and insurance does down as well.

1.When you put your jeans in the dryer on purpose.

2. when you are shopping and trying on clothes you have to go back out to the rack for smaller sizes.

6.asking the salesgirls in shops does this come in an 8?

3. when you have to TRY to get in enough calories.

4. when you go out for ice cream and wonder if the baby cone is too big.

5. when you have emergency PB bags stashed everywhere instead of emergency bags of potato chips.< /p>

...or when you order NO drink in a restaurant and the server looks at you funny and asks (in that "you are strange sort of way") "Are you SURE I can't bring you a glass of Water? ???"

      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.
