June 26, 201214 yr Author Here's the obvious ones: VSG = Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy VST = Vertical Sleeve Talk MFP = My Fitness Pal GB = Gastric Bypass DS = Doudenal Switch LB = Lap Band LBT = Lap Band Talk NSV = Non scale Victory (Nice moments of weight loss not including the number on the scale)

June 26, 201214 yr Author What is onederland...? Onederland is when you reach a weight that starts with a 1 instead of a 2, or 3.. etc. 199 Lbs or less.
June 29, 201214 yr TOM - Time of the month. Lots of posts about bloating during menstrual cycles. Sent from my iPhone using VST
June 29, 201214 yr For WLS AGB = adjustable gastric band (like the lap-band, but not brand name) RNY = Roux en Y BMI = Body mass index BMR = Basal metabolic rate PPI = proton pump inhibitor PB = productive burp (I know it's a band thing, and a horribly misleading name, but it has come up in the revisions forum) NSAID = Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Not an abbreviation (lots of these aren't) but sliming - excessive saliva production Like above, foaming/foamies - saliva that has been "churned" in the esophagus and comes in looking like soap foam or shampoo lather NSV - non-scale victory, a general well being victory that does not involve your weight (clothing fitting looser, a nice compliment, walking X stairs without getting winded, etc.) I'll think of more later, I know there's a bunch. More just conversational... The family ones - DD, DA, DH, MIL, FIL, SIL... where does it end? Second cousin twice removed? SCTR? Bah. HTH = hope this helps IIRC = if I remember correctly AFAIK = as far as I know IMO/IME = in my opinion/in my experience IMHO/IMHE = in my humble opinion/in my humble experience
June 29, 201214 yr The one that stumped me that I see all the time here is SMH shaking my head. There is a huge list if you google net lingo.
November 15, 201213 yr YANA = you are not alone YOLO = you only live once ITA = I totally agree FWIW = for what it's worth BTW = by the way FTW = for the win KWIM = know what I mean WDYT = what do you think WWYD = what would you do SAHW = stay at home wife SAHM = stay at home mom RHO...= real housewives of...
November 13, 201312 yr I know what a second cousin is. But but the heck does twice removed mean? I'd like to know too! Is there gonna be a test on all this stuff?
December 22, 201312 yr I'm no genealogist but the 2nd degree, 3rd degree etc just means how many generations removed they are from you in the family line. I don't know why anyone would use those terms in general conversation. A cousin is a cousin and if they are too far away in the lineage... they're just a distant relative. I say just keep it simple and move on.
