...you start looking at the websites that offer designer clothes at cut-rate prices because NOW you can see yourself fitting into them someday, or for those veteran bandsters, you actually CAN fit into them! :thumbup:

Love this thread!

***TMI Alert***

Last night I went to hear a wonderful speaker, of course there was food at the end. I got over-enthusiastic about a couple of bacon-wrapped scallops (I would have eaten a dozen or more pre-band) and ate them too fast. Well you know what that means...

I had to leave early (had a hour drive home) and spent the entire hour on the freeway sliming and PB'ing...at 65 mph! :thumbup::ohmy::ohmy:

EbonyRose I feel your pain! I live in NY where it's illegal to talk on a cell phone without a headset. The other day I got a fill and was too tight so was vomiting saliva every ten minutes. I was driving and was stopped at a light and leaned over to vomit into my cup, and two seconds later a cop pulls me over. He's like I pulled you over because it seems you were talking on a cell phone. I said absolutely not, I don't feel well and was throwing up into a cup, and I picked up the cup and kind of held it near the window. He got a look of utter disgust on his face and fled back to his car and drove away. It was hilarious!

This is great. I had the same problem when driving once and then also at a meeting. Tried to make it look like I was chewing something. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

This thread is so weird for me. Almost none of what is posted here applies to me. I've never PB'd, slimed, or gotten stuck. I can definitely eat more than 3 bites of food. I can still drink, poop, and eat much like I used to except the quantities are smaller. I have to wonder if alot of people in this thread are way too tight or maybe I'm just the weirdest bandster alive??:crying:

Just an observation. carry on all :redface:

Nurse Melly welcome to the group and congradualtions on the amount of weight loss. Sounds like you are doing all the right things and that you have a good band. How many fills and how much do you have. The band is a great tool, however I will say that everyone is differant in how they react with the band. It is one the best things that I have done for myself. It helps to keep me in check/line.

...you can rejoice with others on being members of the "Losers Club"! :laugh::w00t:

...the fact that summer is coming holds a LOT less terror than it used to, because you are wearing a smaller size and taking off the outer layers that hide your body isn't as big a deal as it used to be!

...you applaud restaurants that have an option for a SMALLER portion of a dinner entree because you know you probably won't finish it anyway, but it's less expensive than buying the big dinner you KNOW you won't finish!:mad:

I have 5.5 cc in my band. I'm definitely not very restricted but I don't know that I would want to be so tight that I PB'd everyday. I don't think that's normal or the way the band was intended to be used. I am getting another fill next month so we'll see if that makes a difference. Trying to find a happy medium is the goal for me. I'd like to eat just like normal skinny people do :cursing:

Congrats on your weight loss as well!

You know you are a bandster when a six inch Subway sandwich now looks like a monster to eat!

And I do not have a fill yet either! So far the band alone has helped me lose 23 pounds!:thumbup:

When you avoid the appetizers at the restaurant so that you have room for the protean and still end up taking some home.

When one size fits all includes you.
