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

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 :}

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

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...
