Nutritionist, I had a hard time with that one too!

[Belle22]

That's funny because I have always thought it was the psychiatrist!

A NUT is all us crazy people on this crazy sleeve journey! LOL. Just kidding. Yes....I think that one is one people don't know until they're told.
Sometimes I still type the whole word.

Originally I wrote "what the hell is a nut",.. then deleted "hell" and overlooked that I should have also deleted "the". I thought I would explain the typo that I can't edit. These things keep me up at night.

[Belle22]

Ha Ha. I am the same way!

It was me. Anyhow, here is a repost of the acronyms that are common on weight loss surgery forums.

HW - highest weight
SW - surgery weight
CW - current weight
GW - goal weight
LW - lowest weight
NUT - nutritionist
BMI - body mass index
PCP - primary care provider
GERD - gastro esophageal reflux disease
LBL - lower body lift
WLS - weight loss surgery
SF - sugar free
NSV - non scale victory (e.g., looser clothes, fitting in a rollercoaster or airplane seat, ascending flights of stairs without huffing and puffing, running a race, or finally accomplishing a task you wouldn't have done when you were obese)

When you have sleeve surgery, you'll have a few sessions with the NUT. As others have said, It's the nutritionist. Usually a female. She'll consult with you about how to eat after sleeve surgery and what vitamins you'll be taking.
