I came home from the hospital 12 pounds heavier than when I left. It took almost 5 days for all of it to come off. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I had my EGD this morning and the procedure itself was A breeze. No issues other than a little bit of drowsiness after. My doctor quickly went over the results with my sister and I'm a little concerned. Apparently I have a small hiatal hernia, ulcers that are in the healing stage and moderate to severe gastritis. Yikes! Anyone else have things come up they were unaware of where the EGD? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My NUT said three months with no carbonated drinks. After that in moderation. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doc said over 50 BMI you will get one and under you wouldn't. Not sure why but that is how they determine it at my doctor's office. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've heard it too but no way I could do this liquid diet for a day more than 30 days. Especially during the holidays. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It was a little better today. I tried the Walden Farms marinara sauce, 4 oz of lean ground beef with spaghetti squash as my only meal of the day.Wasn't the same as my homemade marinara but I ate real slow and it was filling. GBLady41 Best of luck tomorrow. Please update us how it goes. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Today is my first day and to say I'm hungry is an understatement. So far I've had two Protein shakes and 32 ounces of Powerade Zero and it's hard to get my mind off food. My protocol is 30 days on this diet. I just got back from the store with free food I can have pickles, celery, sugar-free Jell-O and cucumbers. I feel like I could make a meal of that. I get to have five Protein Shakes, 4 ounces of lean protein, One cup of fruit and one cup of vegetable a day. 1 foot in front of the other I guess. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
