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.

What are you drinking on your liquid diet? I was instructed to not have sugars. That included no juices, except those artificially sweetened. Most of my drinks were broth and sugar free shake mix. I was told sodas, even diet were out.

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.
