Had my PAT yesterday
I went for my PAT yesterday!
I thought I was relatively healthy. I had a physical last May with a stress test. My doc said I was OK but, if I didn't lose wight it would be a matter of time before I would be diabetic. She also said I had a very slight thickening of one heat valve but nothing to worry about at this time.
After all the test were done for the PAT, I have a fatty liver, leaky heart valve and he said I was probably full blown diabetic before the liquid diet.
I had already been on the liquid diet 8 days and never dreamed I'd have any of the above. Except I can see the diet causing diabetes as everything is so sweet. Did I mention I really don't like sweets much.

Hi Nick!
We get a pre desinged kit from bettermd that Hurley (my center) puts togeather with them. It has high protein shakes, soups, drinks and fiber drinks in it. We have a set schedual of what to drink when. All we do is add milk or water depending on the product. We were giving a list of a few other liquids we can have with it, like we can add a little chicken broth or Diet V8 Splash. I have used almost non of these.
