After having had my three appts. on Tuesday at Luton I went shopping yesterday and got the bits I needed to start the milk diet today.
I was devastated that mines didnt include any yoghurt.......boo hoo..........how sad am I lol??
My lot for the next 25 days is a daily dose of:-
3 pints semi skimmed milk
1 oxo cube or bovril marmite 2 teaspoons
Up to 1 pint of sugar free jelly
A sanatogen gold multi vitamin tablet
2pints of other fluids over and above the milk eg tea coffee sugar free squashes or carbonated drinks under 7 cals, like diet coke.
Started it today and do find the milk difficult as have used skimmed for the last 30yrs, and to me its like drinking double cream.........yuck.
Dont like squashes but glad to have a diet coke or something for some flavour.
Do like oxo and would have liked more of that and less milk, but I realise they are for salt content.
Jelly, well what fun that was in the shops.
I already had sugar/sucrose free powder jellies at home as use them anyway, but thought I would get some small made up tubs too...................I got some Hartleys raspberry and cranberry jellies in tall pots, they are free from all things sugar and are 3 cals per 100mls., so work out about seven cals.....noit sure what they will taste like cranberries are not my favourite fruit, but I will try anything once.
The small pots contained sugar and were 54 cals., so a no go.
This morning bought some 'great stuff' jellies from childrens health range in Asda, and couldnt see the small print in the store even with my glasses!!! but it said sugar free and no preservatives on the front so got the offer of 3 for £1.
Got home and scoured the label, as the light was better was able to see that they had sucrose in and fruit juice which is a no no so cant have those.
I wouldnt have believed it was so hard to get sugar/sucrose/fruit juice free jellies. Mon Dieu!!!
I think I will just have to put up with having a conveyor belt of jellies setting in the fridge from day to day lol.
So I can honestly say I am not hungry, its just the smells of food cooking or the thought of having a sandwich at lunch time, and the lovely fruit in the fridge is so so tempting, keeps saying go on bite me lol.............but I am resisting the head hunger and am going to give this a good try, as I am back there on the 14th September, as I go on hols 19th, so if I have lost my 5% I will be given a diet that I can eat on over my hols, and also an appt for the surgeon.
I was told that the surgeons have basically been away most of August so clinics have gotten way behind, so the dietician, Lynsey who was lovely, said it would be either end of October or beginning of November that I would have my appt with the surgeon, but she said they usually then operate within a 6 week period, so she thinks it is likely that I will still get it done before Christmas.
So there we go.........I am on a countdown until 14th Sept. so fingers crossed I can get through it, as the more I lose the better.
Sorry to drone on, but knew some of you would be interested.
