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!)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
