OK, I just had to jump in on this. However, I don't know if it's already been said.

When you look forward to getting a needle in your stomach, you must be a bandster.

Hi JucyC! :puke: If you want more personal responses, click here & then click on the "New Thread" button. That way folks will see your post! :eek: Glad you liked our fun! :puke: And welcome to LBT!

If you went out to Easter lunch with your family & they got appetizers & meals & dessert & are STILL done before you've had your chicken breast & you have to get a "to go" box because they're tired of waiting for you & you stare at your chicken wishing you could just will it into your stomach, lol... you just might be a bandster! (Nah, that's not a run-on sentence! :))

If you're at a restaurant & everyone's ordering drinks & you seriously can't figure out what to say that will get her to quit asking you for your drink order... you might be a bandster! :der:

If your sister-in-law leans over & says, "Wow, you sure worked a lot during this meal, but you didn't eat ANYTHING!"... you just might be a bandster! (And oh how sweet those words were!)

You might be a bandster if Easter dinner is at 1:30 and you don't show up until 3pm.:nervous

You might be a bandster if you take flowers to the Easter dinner host instead of candy for the kids. :clap2:

You might be a bandster if you desperately want fried shrimp and you finally get it and the order comes with fries but you know you can't eat the fries. Finally, you eat 2 shimp and upset that you can't eat the rest so you friend helps you out by eating the fries and I LET him have 1 shrimp :angry because I know before the night is over I WILL eat the other 5 shrimp.:hungry:

If brushing your teeth is your tastebuds highlight of the day, you might be a banster.

If flossing your teeth with berry flavored floss is a close second, you might be a banster.

If your stomach growels loud enough for the kids in the back of your van can hear it and your not experiencing hunger, you might be a banster.

      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.
