...eating off the kids' menu at the fast food restaurants is MORE than enough food!

...your clothing doesn't 'shrink' in the dryer any more, now it's all getting too big no matter HOW many times you run it through the dryer! :crying:

...you actually look FORWARD to getting on a plane for vacation because now you'll have room in the seat to move around!

...when you are trying on clothes in the fitting room and crying happy tears because you fit into a size you have seen since your teens! :crying:

...when all-you-can-eat buffets are now an ENORMOUS waste of your time and money, so you just don't go! :P

...when buying clothes in the cheap stores is no longer an issue because you're going to out-lose them in a few weeks anyway, so why spend a lot? :)

...when you're getting to be an expert at posting clothes for sale on EBay or Craigslist because your size keeps getting smaller...:lol:

Trying to figure out what size of clothes to by like should I get a med or large. Also when you are almost able to wear the same size as the teenagers in the house and you get the laundary all mixed up.

Have a great 4th.

You know you're a bandster when...

1) you buy chocolate chewable Multivitamins just to get some chocolate

2)a loveseat is a place you and your spouse can cuddle instead of just being a chair for you...

3)you eat a Jelly Belly jelly bean in your favorite soda flavor because you miss your Dr. Pepper..

4)when you dont consider candy orange slices a part of the fruit group...

:eek:

You increase the fuel miles on your car or truck because of less weight.

You medical costs go down and insurance does down as well.

1.When you put your jeans in the dryer on purpose.

2. when you are shopping and trying on clothes you have to go back out to the rack for smaller sizes.

6.asking the salesgirls in shops does this come in an 8?

3. when you have to TRY to get in enough calories.

4. when you go out for ice cream and wonder if the baby cone is too big.

5. when you have emergency PB bags stashed everywhere instead of emergency bags of potato chips.< /p>

...or when you order NO drink in a restaurant and the server looks at you funny and asks (in that "you are strange sort of way") "Are you SURE I can't bring you a glass of Water? ???"

      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.
