You know you are bandster when you have memorized the precise calories, carbs, fat grams, and Protein grams of every Protein Drink ever made. AND you have analyzed them all for taste, aftertaste, and level of satiety! (and price - LOL!)

When your support group goes to a nice restaurant for dinner...

Party of 10

Mostly "chubby" people (cause we're newly banded)

The waiters are all hyped up (THIS is gonna be a huge bill!)

Then everyone orders an appetizer and Water w/ Lemon is the most exciting drink! LMAO

No one eats the bread on the table & the waiters keep returning- 'Can we get you guys ANYTHING else?'

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

When you use that card like a police officer uses his badge- leather bound case- laminated etc... LOL

Everyone at work thinks you got a new cell phone when in fact it's really your mini-food-scale in disguise!

OR

When you go out to dinner and everyone else at the table tells you what to order so they will enjoy what you don't eat!

OR

You tell everyone else what to order, so you can take a bite of each of their Entrees and not have to order anything at all!

      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.
