Depends on what pre-op you are doing, I did the milk/yog pre-op

good luck with your pre op diet, what ever one you choose to do.

Are you doing food option? You can always take boiled egg(a few pieces of cooked chicken breast, lean smoked ham slices) with some cucumber, tomatoes and some salad leaves(rocket or baby spinach) and some crisp bread or normal bread if you are allowed. And a piece of fruit if its allowed (could do as a snack after lunch or before lunch if you get hungry)

It really depends on your allowance

Hi

I'm doing the food option I think I'm gonna do an egg or chicken salad for work I wish my desk wasn't opposite the vending machine tho!!!!

Talk about torture!!!

Llora is right on the button with that, I am doing the food option and go out a lot so would have small salads boiled eggs or ham but sometimes the salads would be huge so only eat half take half home if I could most places are happy to bag your un eaten meal up do make sure you drink plenty and all should be fine
good luck your goal is in sight !

I've been eating two crisp breads, I portion of Lf laughing cow cheese spread 2 boiled eggs,cucumber and tomato

Day one of slimfast pre op diet!!!!!

Ok so it's the end of day one and I am starving!! The kids are eating dinner and it's torture!!

I've had three shakes and one pot of sugar free jelly!!!!

Please say it gets easier!!

Wish I could help but I picked the 1000 cal food diet because as much as I like slim fasts and jelly but not enough to have it for 4 long weeks!
Thankfully its near an end my op is due this thursday
good luck on your LSD

becky2123 Keep going hun . Ready through other threads etc people say after day 4/5 your body gets used to the diet and becomes easier so try to stay with it hun.Drink water or herbal teas when you get the cravings. I have to do the same diet (which I have chosen out of 5) for 4 weeks too!! Please let me know how you get on.All the best.

Thanks!!

I'm doing it for 2 weeks so I shouldn't complain!!

I've got a constant headache today and have had a dodgey tummy!! ?

I didn't think about herbal teas I shall have a look in tesco later xx

I'm doing the food LSD, day five, today, fed up with boiled eggs and omelettes,today has been the worst day, been at work belly feeling strange ,not hungry pains, thou, feeling wishy washy also,
Came home from work ,as I do early shift, feel asleep, not usual for me too be tried but I was drowsy too.
Weighed my self have lost about 9/10 lbs, since Thursday!, is this normal?
My new top which was too tight ,now fights,bonus,
Keep drinking water ,I like it ice cold. ,

I think it's normal to lose a lot of weight on the LSD as our bodies are wondering what the hell is going on!!!!

I've just been to the dentist so can't even drink my shake at the moment!!!

What are you having done? Band or bypass?

Becky x

I'm having a mini gastric bypass, what about you?

I'm having the band on 1st October ?
I'm having a bit of a freak out at the moment!! I'm terrified it doesn't work or I have to pay to have it out!!!!

I keep reading horror stories which isn't helping!!

Hi becky.. It's always like that when you going to have something done and someone's mum sister friend had it and it went wrong!!!!!!!
I am sure you will be fine.. Use your tool well and do what your body can do..
If you really feel anxious ring your team nurse and have a chat.. Might help..
Anyway sending hugs and keep strong your doing so well..
Think it's normal pre op nerves and thoughts.. I am sure I won't be long till I am doubting as mine is getting nearer.. Lol xxxx

If it is any consolation I am on day 2 and feel exactly the same, I am cranky, achey, and really not happy with the world, mind you I ve given up cigarettes, caffeine, alcohol, and food, at same time so body is probably struggling to know what the heck is going on. . . . . . . . Just keep on thinking failure is not an option. . . . . . .

I wasn't given a choice and am on milk, yoghurt and soup. I'm on week three, operation is on Friday. The first three days were the worst. Your stomach shrinks and you get used to it. It is hard I won't lie but I've lost one stone and my liver must be miniscule by now lol. You can do it. Just remind yourself how badly you want the surgery. The thought of it not going ahead because of my liver size was enough to stop me from cheating. Xx
