I Need Tranlation For All The Abbreviations, Please Please :}



Recommended Posts

I am pretty new to this site and very new in my journey to lose weight by having the sleeve done. I have read a lot of post that have Abbreviations, can you please translate for me? Like NUT, PCP & so on. I'm sure once I see them in print I'm going to give myself a forehead slap and say OMG why couldn't I figure that out, but I also don't want to assume and be thinking the wrong thing. Ive looked everywhere I can think of on this site to see if I could find them but I haven't found them yet. Thank you all in advance for your help with this :}

Here's a few: nsv non scale victory (ie clothes feeling loser, compliments, things that remind u or show u that u are losing weight without the scale)

NUT - nutritionist or dietician

PCP - primary care physician

WLS - weight loss surgery

OP - original poster

VSG - vertical sleeve gastrectomy

What's cpap.? I think that's what I saw...

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.

When you see CPAP on this site it is referring to a machine that is used to treat sleep apnea by continually blowing air into the nose, mouth or both while sleeping.

And if you try to talk with it on you'll frighten small children and pets because you sound like an asthmatic Darth Vader...

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
