Milk diet tomorrow, scared it's not enough time! - WLSurgery.com

Daisyhappy! · 27th January, 2012

Hi all,
Im due to be banded a week from tomorrow and Im due to start my milk diet tomorrow, Im reading on here of some people doing it for way longer so now Im really scared that a week won't be long enough as Im ashamed to say i haven't exactly been very healthy the last few weeks

can anyone shed any light on this for me as Im really nervous now! Thanks x

Big an Bouncy · 27th January, 2012

I only had 8 days!

Daisyhappy! · 27th January, 2012

Oh thanks so much for the reply! And was your liver ok to do the op?

Raynebubble · 27th January, 2012

Hun dont worry as you do the pre-op diet whatever one you do... your liver can start to shrink withing 3 days... so a week is fine... everbody does it for different lengths etc..it depends on the surgeon, your BMI, so dont worry you will be fine... just stick to what you have been told xx

Daisyhappy! · 27th January, 2012

Oh thanks a mill, i was getting seriously spooked! So excited now it seems so real now! Can you tell me why we have to drink a bovril drink in the day?

Raynebubble · 27th January, 2012

i didnt do the milk diet as i was on a 4 week low carb diet. so i cant answer the question about the bovril unless its do to with the salt content... mmm i really have no idea!! sorry..but someone will answer soon and we will both be in the know xx

Hi Hun x
I only had 9 days on mine (low carb not milk) and lost 10lb , surgeon said liver was fine...
No need to worry you'll be fine n dandy xx

Daisyhappy! · 27th January, 2012

Oh girls thanks so much! God this time next week will be my last night ever unbanded. Can't believe how nervous Im getting, it's not like me at all!x x

lyzzyanne · 27th January, 2012

the bovril is because there isn't enough salk in the milk diet. (according to my dietitian!!)

When I had my band (1999) I did not have to do anything apart from usual 8 hrs pre op fast - how things change with time,and as the teams learn more and improve things. Good luck xx

We wouldnt be normal if we didnt get nervous hun xx I was an emotional wreck right up to the night before my op - then on the day felt very calm xx
