BP'ing and Slimming

Well I had a very interesting weekend. I learned two new vocabulary words. BP'ing and Slimming. Now don't try to look these things up because they don't exist in Websters. Of course by the end of my journey they probably will.

BP'ing a lovely word not something that you ever consider but it actually means Burping Productively. Oh by this you wonder what this means. Well it is simple you get gas from something you ate and then the gas builds until you start to feel it getting ready to come out. Only it is not the stinking air you think it is. It is heavily fortified with what you ate. Your stomach rumples tosses and turns and oh and then the pain begins. it is only at this time that everything comes back up. And it doesn't matter what the food was it may have been something you ate all the time or it may have been something trivial... oh yeah it is so pleasant especially driving on a highway when it hits. Of course that was my fault because i shouldn't have been eating on the run. A big big no no with lap band or for that matter any time. All I could think about was pulling over and throwing up just to feel better. But next that is the biggie.

Slimming.... oh that sounds like a good word. slimming that dress looks slimming or those pants look slimming n you but that is not what it means in the WLS (weight loss surgery) world. It means that you ate something too fast or too large (remember no bigger than a pencil eraser), you gulped air or gulped water. It hits you right away there is no waiting or stopping no waiting to see if it passes. Your saliva builds up to where it is choking you or feels like you have a thick fluid in your throat oh and it keeps building until you are frothing... yes i said frothing and foaming from the mouth and you begin to regurgitate. Oh you spend several minutes just foaming the the real food comes out... only it is foamy. your stomach is a mess... your sinuses are leaking you feel like hell and the only thing that helps is keeping very still, DRINK NOTHING, and hoping you survive to go again. Then after all that the only thing you can eat is shakes, liquids and of course the hot tea. Lots and lots of hot tea.

My favorite hot tea has become TAZO calming... it is actually not a strong tea and something that I can keep down.

Oh I found a recipe on DVO and i will publish it here.

Baked Salmon with cucumber-Dill dip.

1 - 4 oz Salmon Fillet
salt and pepper
lemon juice

bake in oven on 350 for 25 minutes or until salmon is flaky and opaque (means pink and not see thru)
Dip
1/2 cup of diced cucumber ( i used the regular but and English would be nice)
1 teaspoon of dill weed (actually i used more like 3 teaspoons but I like the taste of dill)
salt and pepper
2 table spoons of Sour Cream (I used 2% Greek Yogurt instead of Sour Cream because i needed the protein)
lemon juice
2 green onions diced small

Mix all with spoon and spread over fish when fish comes out of oven

Now most of you know I am a country girl that never ate a fish that wasn't battered and fried. But this was actually good. I am getting better at eating fish which is not a strong point.

well that is all for tonight. I hope that everyone had a great weekend.
