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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
