Rant: The Word I Hate



Recommended Posts

I hate the word "pouch."

There, I've said it. I feel better now.

Yes, I know doctors use the word.

No, I don't have a better word.

I just don't like it.🤣

That's so funny, it bothers me too! I have absolutely no idea why, but I never use it.

I have a smaller stomach that works just like big one but better. I do not have a pouch :)

I feel the same way about "moist" and to a lesser degree "journey". Must be a remnant of some childhood trauma, lol.

I refer to my new stomach as my banana. Sleeve sounds too much like foreskin or something. Pouch just makes the bypass people sound like kangaroos. Kangaroos are cute.

"moist" is a commonly hated word. In fact, there's a Facebook group for haters of that word.

I thought I was the only one with a dislike of the term pouch. It's just weird to me. Lol

I never got the pouch thing. Isn’t it still your tummy just smaller?

Kangaroos have pouches to raise & carry their young. A pouch is like a pocket, a sporran or a backpack to store extra things.

Let’s ban the word pouch.

BTW - Moist never bothered me. I use ‘journey’ a lot here - sorry.

This is funny, thanks for starting! Moist does not bother me, but I get how it could bother people. I am guilty of journey and have recently caught on to my over using it, especially with weight loss. I am trying to look for better alternatives, although I am not bothered by its use.

Words I hate-FAT, OBESE, BARIATRIC 🤢😖🙁

(yes, I realize I am on "Bariatric"Pal! Sorry, BP, I like the website/ app/company😉😊🤣).

I hate "weightloss journey" too. I don't mind if anyone says it....it's my personal hang up, too. It's just so cheesily coined from My 600 Pound Life or something. My eye twitches over it. It's really not a bad term or anything...it just feels overused and cliche and makes me grit my teeth a little.

I picture two dogs and a cat on a log with a bear or something.

I have issues. LOL.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
