Random Poll o' the Week: Whatcha say???

Do you have any funny sayings, names for things you have started using for your RNY bodily/mental processes? On the Bariatric Foodie page on Facebook I’m always throwing out “vocab," or terms I use to describe things only we can really understand.

 

I’ll give you a few examples:

 

“Off-loading"

 

When you have a little pouch day and then you poo and suddenly you can eat again.

 

SWP (seasonal wardrobe paranoia)

 

When you are more than two year out and you go to unpack your last years clothes from the same season and you worry that they won’t fit. (And not worrying in a good way)

 

Bubble Gut:

What happens to me and many others when we eat too many sugar alcohols.

 

“Inevitable caveat"

 

That ONE THING that makes a great food choice not great for YOU. (Great fiber…but it tastes like butt. Great protein…but the texture is nasty).

 

Now I know all of you have lives so you don’t spend nearly as much time thinking up things as I do (meaning I need to work on getting a social life), but I wanted to know if you have any funny names/sayings for WLS stuff. Like Don, who rightfully warns us to “never trust a fart."

 

 

 

 

BCD - Butt Crack of Dawn.  Typically when I do my SLR.
SLR - Saturday or Sunday Long Run
HCR - Hard Core Runner - Someone who pushes through everything to finish what they started DanCBJammin is the King HCR as he finished 101.6 mile run in 28.5 hours yesterday.

On the mens Forum for guys who drop 200+ pounds we came up with Dropping a Duece .

And "Chocolate Rain Makes Everything Better"  video for choclate rain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwTZ2xpQwpA

SLIME  --  all that stuff  that the esophogus produces when food gets stuck.  I think
this means the same thing as "foamies" to the RNYers but I haven't experienced
it since my own surgery so I don't really know.

PRODUCTIVE BURP -- Another lap band term.  Just swallowed food comes back
up as a regurgitated pile and can be accompanied by slime.  And if you're not in a
place where you can spit it out, you have to chew it again and swallow.  Like a cow
chewing its cud.  (That is so disgusting and I hate to say I did it all the time.  I'm so
glad I don't have a lap band any more!)

Next!

I had a lot of terms when I had my band:

"Feeding the birds" meant PB as in how the momma feeds the babies! haha!
"Give it back" also a PB term. These were pretty much made up by friends and family

Pouch worthy. As in, is this food pouch worthy or should I just walk away?

Also find that I refer to my pouch as its own entity. "My pouch doesn't like ground beef."
