AngieB Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 Very funny and so true!!! Enjoyed reading these today. Since I didn't have my surgery at the OCC or in the US, I still don't really know why you aren't supposed to drink while eating. I can't eat without drinking. Please fill me in. The one thing that I wonder about is..... why doesn't chocolate ever get stuck or cause bping????? Go figure. Drinking - as I understand it, drinking while eating does a few things.... A. Washes food through the stoma or pouch. B. Puts more pressure on the band which could lead to slip or enlarged stoma. That is how I understand the drinking thing. Food should be in your pouch so it can send signals to the brain saying you are full.....beverages wash the food through. You seem to have had success with eating and drinking. I as a general rule follow the no drinking rule nearly to a tee. Hope this helps -
Sherri Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 Ohhh Ohhh I got more.... When the shelf life of your clothes is about one month because you grow out of them so fast When the topics you are googling are protein, constipation, and plastic surgery! So googled all three today BTW! When you finally have to break down and buy new undies because yours are falling off your butt! Yeah, had that happen too! Note to all: don't wear undies that are getting too big to Zumba class - they will keep falling off your butt! That is too funny, I can't wait until my undies start to fall off my butt...! Sherri

I drink so much all the time and seem to think I HAVE to while eating. We'll see how it goes. Thanks again,
jhawkchick75 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 Its a great feeling but quite embarassing when the panties are falling off! Right now I am in between pants sizes and they won't fall off b/c of my hips, but I keep walking around hiking them up and get yelled at to buy new pants. All I hear in my head is that song "pants on the ground" from American Idol!
MyNewLife Posted May 14, 2010 Author Report Posted May 14, 2010 ohhhh this one happens to me ALL the time.... You know when your a bandster when EVERY time you type or text the word "feel" you type "fill".....LOL Carrie
karenci Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 No, you know you are a bandster when your crotch hangs low! Seems like every new pair of pants fits for awhile, but there is that time when you're on your way to the next size when your butt is saggy and your crotch hangs low. . . you can recognize a bandster by the poor fit of their pants!
magkai1 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 Does your crotch hang low? Does it wobble to and fro? Can you tie it in a knot? Can you tie it in a bow?
AngieB Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 Does your crotch hang low? Does it wobble to and fro? Can you tie it in a knot? Can you tie it in a bow? LMBO - I was thinking the same thing in my head! ha!
karenci Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 Does your crotch hang low? Does it wobble to and fro? Can you tie it in a knot? Can you tie it in a bow? Yes, but not for long. . .LMAO!
Kristi Posted May 18, 2010 Report Posted May 18, 2010 LOL....LOL....LOL................. you all crack me up. The funny thing is that the panties really do fall off your butt or you look in the mirror at your back view and it looks like there is a load in your britches cuz they are so saggy.... Kinda embarrassing, haha... Kristi
EricaG Posted May 19, 2010 Report Posted May 19, 2010 i have one!! when you learn to ignore confused looks from co-workers when the "taco run" order sounds like this.. Mike: 6 tacos Joe: 8 tacos Pam: 4 tacos Ana: 4 tacos Erica: One chicken taco?
ripcityrenegade Posted May 19, 2010 Report Posted May 19, 2010 Does your crotch hang low? Does it wobble to and fro? Can you tie it in a knot? Can you tie it in a bow? To funny Is that bandster I am?
Smiley Posted May 20, 2010 Report Posted May 20, 2010 LOL....LOL....LOL................. you all crack me up. The funny thing is that the panties really do fall off your butt or you look in the mirror at your back view and it looks like there is a load in your britches cuz they are so saggy.... Kinda embarrassing, haha... Kristi I had an embarrassing moment that embarrassed me and my plastic surgeon the other day. He was taking my one year follow up pics and the paper panties that were taped to me started to fall off. I'm not sure which one of us was redder which was odd b/c I will always remember the day I had my first surgery and stood before him in my b'day suit while he marked me with Sharpies. I am just glad he is a professional and I prayed the whole time that he had tunnel vision.
Smiley Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 You have to go buy some "old clothes" in order to stain your deck because everything else that you own is either less than a year old or way to big to even wear in your own backyard.
AngieB Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 You know you are a bandster when.....the red meat and mast taters girl you once were is eating tufo vegetable teriyaki......and loving it! What a change a band can make in your life! WOW!
Smiley Posted June 1, 2010 Report Posted June 1, 2010 You wish you had bought your clothing in not only your present size at that time, but also at least one in the next two smaller sizes. I am tired of having an article of clothing that I really like and then trying to find something similar to it when I need to go down a size. This is mainly an issue in regards to pants.
EcMjawad1 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Posted June 1, 2010 Hi all, These are great! I was smiling all afternoon. Gonna keep them for "those days" as a newbie I can't think of one but I have experienced a lot of them. My personal: You know your a banster when: you go to a party for the fun and not the food... When somone who hasn't seen you says "damn you look good" and you can take it without flinching...or looking behind you... Keep em coming...
jhawkchick75 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 Had one yesterday that had happened before but just was reminded of it recently. Know you are a bandster when you are at a restaraunt and have to come up with an excuse for the Manager when they come to your table worried you are upset with your food because you haven't eaten hardly any of it. Had this happen again yesterday got some food and as always my eyes were bigger than my stomach and barely ate any of it so the Manager came by worried I was not satisfied with my meal. You would think after almost 2 years I would know to not order so much but I always do! Hopefully I will learn someday!
AngieB Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 You know you are a bandster when.....you have stocked your cupboard with so many one cup containers, cuz that is how you roll... You know you are a bandster when....you are buying tofu at the store and loving it! You know you are a bandster when....you can out walk your skinny friends!
