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"?

      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... :(
