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!)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
