OMG, these are hysterical. I can't come up with anything to add, but I was feeling pretty depressed sitting here drinking my nasty pre-op liquid diet Protein Shake for lunch and this certainly brightend my day. Thanks for the laughs. :clap2:

Janet,

This is my favorite. I do it everytime.

If you map out "bathroom exit strategies" before you sit down in a restaurant...

you might be a Bandster!

Megan, I was thinking the hoohoo one, too!

If you know what 4 cc looks like, but you've never taken a science class, you might be a Bandster.

If you check with fitday.com to see if you can eat something & still get "restriction" for the day... you might be a successful Bandster!

If you avoid dry chicken like the plague...

you might be a bandster.

If you glare at people eating bread or rice...

you might be a bandster.

If you're angry that you can only eat 1C...

you might be a baby bandster! (How long until the anger leaves? Heh.)

If you pray & beg for restriction but then regret it every morning...

you might be a bandster!

If you wait until noon to try to eat or drink anything...

you might be a bandster.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
