| PART 2: Some frequently used abbreviations you may see on this forum: Bandster/Bandit - A person who has undergone banding. B u m p/Bringing Forward/BTT - This means to bring a thread/topic to the top of the front page. THREAD - A thread is a topic PB - Productive Burp - This is a 'bandster' term that refers to the regurgitation that most bandsters will experience at least once in their bandster lives when we've eaten more or larger pieces than can be passed through the stoma (small entrance to the stomach). Since the food has not been digested, there is no odour, stomach acid, or retching involved but there may be a varying degree of phlegm that accompanies it. PB episodes may last anywhere from 1 minute to two hours, depending on the individual and circumstances. After a PB episode, under most circumstances, it's best to refrain from eating at that meal and let the stoma rest. If it is happening constantly it may be a good idea to try going on fluids for 24 hours to see if the inflammation goes down. If not, you must see your doctor. NSV - Non Scale Victory – A victory that is celebrated by not being weighed e.g. being able to cross your legs, jeans that were too small for you now fit, when flying not having to ask for an extender seatbelt. YAHOO has a glitch in their system that causes threads/topics to disappear when they reach the bottom of page 1 and are being transferred to page 2. They eventually reappear but it's known for them to take a day or two to do so. Therefore it is advisable to save any thread that you would like to frequently use in your bookmarks or favourites. You will sometimes see s p a c e d words. Yahoo is quite touchy, & thinks that some innocent words are profanities! Thank you. |

| Hi Tinadaczko I think you are supposed to put this message on the General page. But to answer you - yes, I'm day 18 and I've been getting hungrier and hungrier as the days go by. I think it must be normal. The dietician said to eat only 1/2 a cup of mushies at a time, but I eat more than that, otherwise I'm hungry again within an hour. I guess I'll feel less hungry when I get my first fill. Judy |

| Hi I was banded on 13th June 07 and am still sort of recupperating, I was told by my surgeon to eat fluids day 1 after op for a week. So sick of soup now. I then went on to mushy soft food and am gradually increasing consistency and am now eating normal though i have not tried nor want to tackle a steak or bread yet. I am noticing now that although can't eat much i am finding myself getting hungrier after a period of time say 2-3 hrs of eating. is this normal? and has it happened to anyone else? Thanks for reading |

| darekstar, This is a great forum for spouses, or anyone who wants to learn more about lap banding. Try reading some of the other threads and try posting your questions on General Chat #3. There will be someone there to help. Best of luck with supporting your wife, sometimes it can be harder on the partner, especially when emotions are involved. Just make sure you talk to her about things that you aren't sure about. Pyretta |

| I was wondering if this would be a good forum for a spouse of a lap band recipient? My wife just had the procedure done (a few days ago). I am concerned about what my role is going to be now and how too handle various situations. Last night, for instance, I made dinner for my step-son and myself and I was told me wife how I prepared dinner and she stopped me kind of abruptly. I am guessing it had more to do with the pain she was dealing with, but I am concerned with the future and these types of stuations. Is this a good forum for me to ask these kinds of questions. |
