WHAT IS PB...I KNOW THERE IS A THREAD SOMEWHERE FOR ABBREVIATIONS BUT I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE:help:

THANKS SO MUCH

PB stands for Productive Burp. After the band, you won't be able to vomit like most people. The band prevents digested food from coming back up past the band. What most of us experience is an almost burping sensation where undigested food from the pouch comes back up. Usually this occurs after something gets "stuck" or if you've eaten too much.

DIET PRIOR TO SURGERY

You will need to follow this simple diet for 3 days and the last meal at your arrival day will be at 8 am. So the lab personnel will take blood samples. After that you will be able to eat.

· All kinds of liquids

· Water, tea, lemon water (Take at least 1.5 liters a day)

· Water, tea, fruit juice drinks, natural fruit beverages, chicken stock, vegetables cream Soups, skim milk, yogurt, jelly (gelatin desserts) .

· Same liquids plus 3 pureed foods a day (a first stage of Gerber sized, strained).

· Mashed fruits, vegetables, cereals (oatmeal, rice, potato, noodles, mixed).

After your surgery we will provide you personalized care, giving attention to identifying your needs and evaluating outcome.

Good luck

Charles
