Hello all

Just wanted to clear a few things up...

Im new and on my way to having a band!!

I just wanted to know what exactally is classified as

"fluid" on the post op fluid diet?

And how do i get a ticker table"??

And whats a PB?

Ta!!

Oh and how do i put a pic under my name on the left??????

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:

Click on someones ticker and it takes you to where to and how to build it, then you edit your info on here and paste the info in your signature box

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!)

Thankyou!!!!!
