Here's a couple more to add to that conversation:

I've had a slippage (I hope she didn't break anything when she fell)

liquid Hell (I thought hell was on fire, when did it flood?)

Mushies (Looks like she still has all of her teeth, do you think those are dentures?)

when your mother invites you to dinner and lists each item on the menu and asks "Can you eat that" after reading after each item.

when the first thing out of someone's mouth you haven't seen in a while is "So, how much have you lost?" :angry:

My gosh! I laughed so hard at these.

You know you wanna be a bandster when:

  • You are actually excited about going for a psych evaluation, upper GI, gallbladder ultrasound, EKG, and blood tests.
  • Your doctor starts you on your liquid diet for two long weeks.

*no longer buy fast food because you don't want to waste the money (all you can eat is maybe 2 bites and 2 fries)

*You have to choose between having an egg OR bacon for Breakfast

*the site of bread (or any bread-like product) makes you nauseous (sorry, this one is personal for me, can no longer eat bread, comes back up)

*Compulsively ask other bandsters who have lost lots of weight how they did it

*have to find other things to do because now there is so much free time

*Looking forward to the next cruise for the actual vacation and not the food

:angry:

...when you say, "I'm so full." And mean it.

When you say "I'm so full it's about to come out of my nose" and you REALLY mean it.

When instead of seeing "A LA Carte or dinner Entrees" on the top of your menu, it says "childrens'" or "Appetisers".

When you realize that this board is your family and it's the place where everyone understands you and never cares how often you whine or ask questions heard before (maybe not funny, but very real and true).

      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... :(
