Banded Campers



Recommended Posts

Does anyone camp? If so can you eat s’mores? They are my favorite part of camping. We are planning a trip for the end of September. I will be on regular food by then. :hungry: And I will want one ore two.

I don't see why you can't, just as long as you take small bites and chew well. Its really an individual thing so you'll have to try it to know.

Don't eat to many now and have FUN !!!!

Yes! My son is a Cub Scout, and we camp twice a year (Spring & Fall). Being a single mom and the Committee Chair the past couple of years... I'm on every trip and excursion. Since we go as a group, it gives my son & I an opportunity to have the camping experience - I'm not sure if I'd be brave enough to do it by ourselves. But I'm feeling like I can do anything now!

I've never had trouble with Smores, but I can only eat 1.. half section of graham cracker with a square of Hershey chocolate and 1 large marshmallow. You should be fine with 1 or 2 since it sounds like you won't have had a fill by then. If you are feeling restriction, with or without a fill, I would only recommend to take it slow, allow 30 seconds between bites.... those crackers have a way of expanding in your stomach.

Practice makes perfect! And, I have a feeling you'll have lots of yummy fun "practing" with smores!

Happy camping!

Oh my goodness, I love s'mores! I have one of those cookers that I bought at Kohls where you can make them at home (and no, I haven't used it since getting my band). But there is nothing like making them over a open fire when you are camping. Enjoy!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
