This may silly to some of you but...we get so used to using abbreviations that we forget that not everyone knows them. I am trying to make a list for 'newbies' so if I have missed any can you post them? Thanks 2 thumbs up

VLCD = Very Low Calorie Diet
R1 = Round one (you will also see R2, R3, etc...)
P1 = Phase one (you will also see P2, P3, P4)
TOM = Time of the Month
BM = Bowel Movement
SubQ = Subcutaneous Injection (a "shot" given into the layer between the skin and the muscle)
IM = Intramuscular (in-tra-MUS-q-lar) injection (a "shot" given into a muscle)
TMI - Too much information
SubL or SL = SubLingual (under the tongue instead of injection)
WTG = Way to Go!
LIW - Last Injection Weight

Okay...I missed a lot, but I am tired today (long practice) I will think more later. Help me out if you can. :flower:
Thanks for the updates....are there anymore?
