when you keep things like peanuts and beef Jerky for an emergency meal instead of the candy bars that used to take up space. lol:thumbup:

I still keep candy bars in my desk, just the 100 claorie ones, along with the beef jerky and peanuts. :thumbs_down:

7_5_142.gif I love this thread! I have a few. Mine aren't funny tho.

1.) When your favorite food pre surgery is no longer your favorite food.< /p>

personal experience here. my taste has changed. I hate bread now!

It doesn't get stuck, I just don't like it, not even grilled cheese!

2.) You think about how much you are chewing your food. chew, chew,

chew!

3.) you stop studying chairs to see if they are sturdy enough to hold you

4.) When you show the waiter/tress your LB card stating to let you order from the kids menu.

5.) people who know you have the band watch what you eat

6.) falling in love all over again......with garage sales and thrift stores.(because your loosing so fast you don't want to buy brand new yet!)

You know you are a Bandster when the whole family asks "Is it stuck" just by the look on your face.

I just had this happen for the first time like 10 minutes ago. I guess my family will know, but when it happened, I just got up and walked away and my hubby just kept talking and then eventually he asked if everything was OK...LOL.:biggrin2:

When you pull the insides out of an egg roll to eat because the bread on it made you stuck. lol

...when the hottest rumor at work is that you're bulemic. (The girls just HATE it when I run into the stall to PB - yuck!)

HA HA!! THis is very funny to me because I work with all men and they had an intervention with me because they thought I had an eating disorder:thumbup:

My doctor gave me a card that he wrote on that says I have a medical reason for needing to order kids meals. I show that at restaurants when they give me crap for ordering off the kids menu

      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.
