Hi there... I also had ESG/POSE at Brigham and Woman’s about a week ago. I spend two nights in hospital after experiencing some unbelievably strong nerve pain. With all the iv fluids, I arrived home weighing 8lbs heavier! The weight is starting to shift after about a week. I am still on a liquid diet (6 weeks). I’m not hungry at all and I am consuming about 700 calories a day. I do wonder why ESG patients seem to have a longer liquid diet phase post procedure. I hope I can manage another 5 weeks. I know that I have lost weight because my clothes are fitting better, but I will say that my stomach still feels very bloated and swollen. One reason I chose ESG was because it was meant to be a quick recovery, but for me it has taken a while to feel better.
