As a new member here at LapbandTalk i had found it kind of interesting the abbreviations people use that i have never heard of. A couple of those are -

PB : Productive Burp

DW : Dear Wife

DH : Dear Husband

Sliming : Another version of PB

Foamies : Barfing Foam:sick

Can someone help a newbie out and possible future Newbies in understanding some of your slang that you use by replying with abbreviations or slang terms taht are used here. I will compile a list after we have gathered a few

sliming and PB arent the same thing...

sliming is just saliva not going down..

a PB is when something actually comes back up.

Yes, but a PB is when you throw up food that refuses to go down... not salvia. Saliva coming up... stringy or not... is just sliming... until the food comes back up with it... then you've "produced" something.

aka a productive burp PB

That is the difference.

The problem here is that we aren't dealing with real medical terms that have any kind of actual definition. We're dealing with terms that someone somehwere (probably someone online) made up, and to different people it means different things. There is no "right".

To me a PB is when something is forcibly ejected from the esophagus... or perhaps not so forcibly, but still ejected. It doesn't matter if it's food matter or just slime, or foam, or whatever else gets brewed up down there... if I have to yak it up, it's a PB. Sometimes I PB food pieces, sometimes I PB saliva, sometimes I PB foam.

And sliming to me is when I am heavily salivating, even if it doesn't come back up. If it's producing at thicker/more than normal, I'm sliming. If I have to keep swallowing or spitting, I'm sliming.

      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.
