People are always asking (as I did when new) about various terms. Feel free to add any more you can think of.
BANDING TERMS
PB - Productive Burp
A more polite way of saying vomit! More like regurgitation than vomit though as it's when you have eaten something and your band won't let it down - so it comes straight up again. Often accompanied by a lot of saliva.
Sweet Spot
That level of fill (or adjustment) where you have got the fine balance of enough fill to hold back hunger and make small portions satisfying but not too much to prevent normal eating without pain, regurgitation or reflux.
Green Zone
Same as sweet spot
OTHER TERMS USED ON THIS FORUM
SAHM
Stay at home mother
There are some other descriptions I have seen in the intro section relating to partner status that I couldnt figure out - love to know what they mean.

NSV - Non Scale Victory
When you have a success not directly related to the scales going down but something else nice eg not needing the extender belt on planes or able to paint your toe nails without contortions!
