I just read all of these and was LMAO. Anyway here are my contributions

*Sitting on the computer chair is uncomfortable because you can feel your bones sticking into the chair

*My sons favourite comment after I have eaten is "you gonna puke Mum?"

*You dont panic when flying that the seatbelt wont fit.

*the smell of KFC wafting thru your gym makes you nauseas not ravenous

I still don't get why so many people puke... I've never puked up my food... Are you over eating? Eating too fast? Are your bites too big? I feel bad for you guys!

What's a PB? What's with the slime? I don't get these things??? LOL

You know your a bandster when you have to ask THESE questions!!!

I didn't have a PB until just last month. I have been banded since April 07!! I have slimed A LOT, but never Pb'd. I was a weird experience and I can not imagine doing it over and over again like some people. The sliming is gross and I hate it, but it does happen when I eat too big a bite and something gets stuck...

You know when........

You go out to eat with a friend who knows you have the lapband and she proceeds to ask you after every menu item "can you eat that?" while the waitress is looking at you with a puzzled look on her face.....

it takes you longer than anyone else to order food off of the menu and you rattle of the list of foods in your head you can't eat or would rather like to keep down after you get finished.

Sliming is the excessive spit you create when you get stuck.

You know your banded when you know the answers to the question and the visual of you sliming is still in your head.

When you buy a new fabulous fitting outfit to wear on a trip, pack it in your suitcase after purchasing it 2 weeks before your trip, get to your destination, put it on, and find that it absolutly falls off of you!

      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.
