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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
