You know you are a bandster when....



Recommended Posts

When you spend all morning staring at your Breakfast thinking, "in a few hours, I might be able to eat that."<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

When you give up on TV dinners (even the $1 kind) because they are just a waste of money.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

When you go to visit family or friends and the host takes you shopping for the food just to, "make sure we pick something you can eat."<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

When your family keeps commenting on how much smaller your butt has gotten and doesn’t seem to consider it rude.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

When your co-workers start calling you Gangsta because you spend all day holding your pants up (I was 4 sizes smaller and didn’t realize it until I went shopping for new clothes)<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

When you shop for clothes that are just a bit too small so that they will last more than 2 months<o:p></o:p>

I'm hoping to be banded next month. PLEASE let someone tell me my butt is getting smaller. I won't think it's rude! ;-)

Luv the Soup one...happens to me all the time!

When friends and family know you have the band, but still ask.."is that all you're going to eat?" kills me every time!

I am a newbie and just started the process to be banded. For the last hour and half I laughed and cried knowing that 1) there are people out there just like me. 2) That some people can do this with laughter while struggling to keep sane.

Thank you all!!!

Laugh and the world laughs with you; smile and the world wonders what you are up to! Keep SMILING!!!!:biggrin:

when someone makes a rude comment about fat people and before you can take offence to it, you say "fat people have feelings, too!"

When you prepare a meal that you really, really wanted to eat and after one bite it gets stuck and you can't eat any more. Damn!!!:):mad::)

When your grandchildren tell you how pretty you are.

When a Tic-Tac fills you up.:confused:

When you have to remind yourself you HAVE to eat instead of always wanting to eat.

You have now become a model because you are always posing for pictures

      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.
