I have to laugh at myself...

So... I'm still quite new to the online world of weight loss surgery. I've noticed that, like most of the online world, these forums have their own commonly used acronyms, and most of the time I've been able to puzzle them out. One of the problems I had was when people would refer to "my nut". I was getting very colorful with what I imagined this to mean, because the way it was used seemed to vary.

It finally dawned on me that people were referring to their nutritionist.

Anyhow, just to avoid any more confusion for myself does anyone want to share what some of the more typical acronyms are? Because while I think I know some of them... I could be operating under a very wrong assumption!
