...you don't want to buy expensive (or even moderately expensive) clothes because you KNOW you won't be wearing them for long...unless you're at goal, and then you can buy anything you want!:w00t:

Good one!!!! ROFL :blushing::w00t:

In the same vein . . . when you lose all your excess weight and find out that losing some padding around your face makes your wrinkles grow, expand and come alive, lol.

This is soooo true. But just wait until you reach goal. :0)

I reached goal last Summer, spent some money and bought some awesome clothes which still fit like a dream a year later. I even noticed my size 8's are a little baggy now, lol. It is amazing to reach your "too good to be true goal" and maintain long term. I can't wait until the rest of you join me :0)

When you get stuck and PB from a piece of meat that you just toothpicked out of your teeth and swallowed. This actually happened to me today.

That made me laugh so hard I nearly pee'd on myself! Thanks I really needed a good laugh!!!!!:w00t:

...you become your local consignment shop's best customer because you've lost so much weight you bring them all your old clothes, and you keep losing at such a steady rate that you're continually bringing them your new, barely-worn clothes that you bought during your transition!

Oh, and let's not forget that you're in there SHOPPING for new clothes every few weeks because you HATE to pay retail for clothes you're only gonna wear for a month or two!:wink:

When you run to catch the bus, actually catch it and not have the driver ask if he needs to call a paramedic.

When your spouse asks you to order something different because they don't like what you ordered and know they'll be having it for lunch the next day.

When you can tie your shoes with them on your feet.

You know you're a bandster when....

...you consume a case of Water in a few days rather then a case of soda

...you are so use to eating so fast that you are done with ur entire meal before anyone else even gets started, but now you are still on your soap while they are finishing their entree

...you are drinking Water at the bar and acting as if it's a gin and tonic so no one knows you aren't drinking alcohol

...everyday people ask, "so how much is it now?"((as in how much weight have you lost))

      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.
