You know you are a bandster when....



Recommended Posts

When you're on a fieldtrip with your kid and she tells everyone that you can't eat pizza because you are trying to be thinner.

and "My mom used to be fat."

you are now "allergic" to a lot more foods (pizza, beer, soda pop, birthday cake (or cake of any kind), bread of any kind, pasta)

I have found it easier to tell people I'm "allergic" when they inquire why I can't/won't eat something.

"When you ask to smell your hubby's brownie before he eats it"

I fell out on the floor when I read this one a few posts back!!!! I was laughing so hard the people passing by my office poked their head in to see what was going on. these are hilarious.

Here's a few more:

When your DH FINALLY stops asking if you want a beer.....

When your dog starts sleeping under the table because she KNOWS there will be left overs.

when everyone else in the family starts putting vanilla slim fast in their coffee.< /p>

When there are Flintstone Vitamins in every room of the house to remind you to take them.

When unsweetened applesauce, slim fast and tuna become standard travel items in your suitcase.

You know that new Domino's pizza commercial? The one that has the "warning" to close your eyes and block your ears if you don't want to save money on "piping hot pizza," well you really do close your eyes and block your ears!!!!!!

The first thing out of a persons mouth when you talk about food is, " I didn't think you could eat that."

Your pets get to know that "look" and sit patiently with you in the bathroom while you PB.

Your friends and co-workers modify menus at get togethers so that you can eat also.(I have awesome friends and co-workers!)

You know you are a bandster when your monthly appointments with your surgeon have people thinking that you are pregnant and going to the OB-GYN (again maybe that's just me)

      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.
