Mrs. Mink 0 Posted June 30, 2009 Ok, I have something of a silly question, but must really know. I have read time and again in postings about "onederland". What does that mean? After all, they don't exactly give you the secret book of lap band lingo after your surgery, now do they? :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Mink 0 Posted June 30, 2009 Never mind. lol. I just read someone's posting, and it makes it quite clear what it means. I feel silly now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carbgrl 0 Posted June 30, 2009 You don't know what it is because you're already there. LOL Onderland is being back in the One hundreds. After being in the 200's it's really nice getting back to the 100's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Mink 0 Posted July 1, 2009 I'm actually not there. I am currently 210. But soon enough, I will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mouse81841 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Since we are on the subject, what in the world is a PB? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texas mommy 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Since we are on the subject, what in the world is a PB? A PB is a Productive Burp. This is when something gets sorta stuck at the entrance to your stomach and a burp brings it back up...in the same condition it went down. Nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Mink 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Thanks for asking about a PB, and for the other person to answer it. I assumed that PB meant productive burp, but wasn't entirely clear as to what that meant. Anything else we haven't covered for other newbies out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Padanelle 2 Posted July 1, 2009 Thanks for clearing up 'Onderland'. I began to get curious when I saw it in a few posts. Happy to say I have joined the club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidsmom08 0 Posted July 1, 2009 Thanks for posting this one..I was wondering about the PB myself...however while we are STILL on the subject what are Sliders???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MistyD65 1 Posted July 1, 2009 (edited) There's a handy list of often-used abbreviations in the FAQ Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum - FAQ: Lap-band Abbreviations And sliders (I assume you are NOT talking about the mini-hamburgers everyone is selling nowadays lol) are the foods that slip right through your stoma with no trouble at all. They are, unfortunately, usually high-calorie, high-fat, and low-protein. Milk shakes, ice cream, chips, crackers, candy, chocolate. A lot of times, when someone has their Band too tight, they start resorting to slider foods because they can't get the good, solid Proteins down. Even though they think they are eating less, they often end up gaining weight. That's why it is so important to get an unfill if you can't eat properly due to a too-tight band. Welcome to the club!
