Health and weight concerns. I have GERD and recently I have been experiencing...?

issues in my esophagus. My Endoscopy is scheduled for June 1st. Until the the doctor told me to go on a strict diet. I started myself on a Bland Soft Food/Liquid Diet. Basically, I eat yogurt, protein drinks such as Carnation Breakfast and mashed potatoes or Broth. For now, it does not irritate my esophagus. The only problem is that I have been on a diet for a few weeks to lose weight. Then this problem presented itself and I had to change my diet again. Will eating this hinder me from losing weight? I need to lose weight, I work out a few times a week already. I am starting to add more to my workouts. But this is my daily meal plan, basically the same everyday. What can I add or change to help lose weight?



Breakfast- Carnation Instant Breakfast (mixed with banana in blender)

Snack-Jello-sugar free

Lunch- Bowl of mashed potatoes-plain-sometimes with sprinkled parmesean cheese.

Snack- Pudding-sometimes sugar free

Dinner- Broth or mashed potatoes, sometimes a bowl of plain grits.

You can eat eggs, cottage cheese and low-acid fruits like bananas, pears, and apples (pureed so they don't erode your esophageal lesions). You should be able to tolerate Slim Fast, too, rather than Instant Breakfast.

I hope the doc told you to sit up after meals for at least 1/2 hour, not eat for at least 3 hours before bedtime, and not to work out for 3 hours after eating, either. You should also be sleeping at a 30 degree angle.
