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

      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.
