    You know you are a Bandster when the whole family asks "Is it stuck" just by the look on your face.

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.

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!!!!!!

I can't stand pizza anymore, and I'm not even banded yet. LOL it's weird

But either way I love this thread.

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!)

Your 20 something thin but shapely daughter complains about you borrowing her clothes for the first time in her life.

Aubrie I am glad that you got a laugh out of my brownie sniffing comment !!!

JST4Kel - My dog Zoe so gets that look before I PB !!

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)

When someone mentions going to Mexico for surgery and within 2 minutes they have 4 surgeons recommended and the exact amount each surgeon charges.

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"?

When you go out to eat with your 5 year old grandaughter and she cleans her kids plate and you have a large doggie bag going home from your kids plate.
