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.
