Default WLS verbage thinnertimesisms

Good idea, huh? Like our own lil Wikopedia?

Staplers: If you had gastric bypass
Losers: all of us that lose weight
Century Club: Lost 100 pounds
Onederland: got to the 199 mark and counting down
Keeping the bench warm: losers anxiously awaiting for pre ops to join them after surgery
Banders: lap banders
DH: Dear husband
TT: Thinnertimes
SO: Significant other
DP: Domestic Partner
Rebirthday or Suriversary: The day you had WLS

Trying to think of more....

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

Podmate -- another person who had surgery the same day as you.

Great idea Bridget! If they didn't have this already, they should put this in that "newbie" section that I think Gwen put together.

Toony actually had to come up with this one on my behalf when I hit 399.5. There aren't a lot of people here on TT who are celebrating being in the 300s - most are eager to get out of this town and hit Twoterville!

SF=sugar free
FF=fat free
PS=plastics (skin removal and lifts of various parts)
TT=many things, must be defined by context. Can be Thinner times, TT (T-T,
T2)=our TT love monkey, OR tummy tuck
Hell Week=the first week (or 2) after bypass surgery, when everything hurts and
we are most likely to have buyer's remorse
BMI=body mass index

I'll remember more, I'm sure--as I wake up
