Thanks for asking these questions! I'm new here too. Going to my first consult on Fri. After reading about all the PB'ing, Sliming and Gas....I am quite worried!

I keep envisioning myself at my desk at work sliming or burping. Not good...I am on the phone all day. :thumbup:

I can answer your question regarding fluids...but I dont' know anything about the cool tickers or photos.

Clear fluids consist of,

chicken, beef, vegetable bullion

Jello

Apple, grape, cranberry juice (cut with water)

Crystal Light

Gatorade

Propel

Tea and Decaf coffee

Water (how could I forget)

And whatever clear fluids that you can think of....I think that's what was on my list

Full liquids include everything that is a clear liquid plus,

Creamed Soups

pudding

custard

apple sauce

skim milk

all vegetable juices

Some full liquid diets include: cooked refined cereals; farina, grits, oatmeal, cream of rice, cream of wheat (but mine doesn't!)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
