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 understand the words "stoma" & "transferred pain"...

you might be a Bandster.

I'm loving these! Keep 'em coming!

Oooooo!! (This one's for DonnaB!)

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.

      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.
