Hi everyone,

I was banded in May and just got my first fill this week. I stopped by to look at the forum on Tuesday because I was having a real bad night after my fill and I was looking for information. I am doing much better today and back on track. Regarding the forum, I am really glad I joined today. I've learned a lot already. A little about me: I am 44, a mother of 2 boys (18 & 9), and married to my prince charming! I've been struggling with my weight since I was 13 and tried everything! I lost what ever control I had over my weight when I gained 100 lbs during my first pregnancy and I've never been able to take it off. I am so excited about my new life. I am already collecting clothes that I am shrinking out of to give to charity. I never again want a closet that contains both 20 year old 'skinny' clothes and cheap 'fat' clothes. Found out today, I cannot and will not eat Velveeta cheese again!

Rock on!

p.s. Need help with the acronyms! What is PB and lol?

Thanks,

[Nana~ 4]

Howdy!

I'm near Austin

Welcome to lbt!

PB is productive burping- burping up food

Slim- is the eggwhite type slime that comes when you have noy chewed well or taken one too many bites.

Thanks for the info. This is the first time I've participated in on-line forums so it looks like I need to pick up on the lingo as well. Love the Picks and the info you've been sharing!

Welcome. I live in Atascocita (Humble) so not so far. I have been banded just 3 days. So far so good. There are lots of good threads to read and get caught up on all you want to know.

Welcome

Hi, Cinderella!

LOL is Laugh Out Loud...it's a good thing! There's a thread somewhere on here with all these little abbreviations on it...use the Search feature (look at the top of the page.)

I live north of Dallas, but we're all still Texans!

Good luck with your journey!

Cindy

Here, I copied this link (I hope!) that explains a lot of the abbreviations:
