clear liquids, chicken (2 small pieces) or fish (2 small pieces), jelly (sugar free), a small amount of green veg.

it was awful - really horrible.

I have just started 4 weeks of 800 cals a day which I am finding hard in the evening. I am fine during the day but by the time I get home I do get the munchies, I am trying not to drink too much during the day as I work in a school and dont have the luxury of being able to nip to the loo as often as I would like which would probably make me less hungry. Ah well its not for ever.

Well i am having to do a pre op for 8 weeks, my surgery is planned for mid Feb but as i am hoping for a cancellation for Jan as that is when my op was meant to be i am staring my pre op of 800 cals low carb/low cal in mid Dec to be ready in case a cancellation comes up mid Jan, not looking forward to it though lol x

rybens · 19th November, 2009

my pre op diet starts monday very low carb and very low fat , under 800 cals a day for three weeks BRING IT ON !!!! lol sure i wont be saying that a few days in lol

Bullyfun · 25th November, 2009

well its day one of my SIX week pre op milk diet and im on:
8 to 10 120g yoghurt pots that have to be less than 65 calories.
2 litres of water
1 pint of skimmed or semi skimmed milk.
bovril, tea, coffe as required (using milk from allowance in the tea and coffee)

After my trip to tescos found that only weightwatchers do a yoghurt in the desired size/calorie i was looking for, shocking when you actually start to look at the calories in some of this stuff.....

well as i said day one six pots, a litre of water and two coffees later only side effects were a loud belly rumble during a meeting and several loo stops.

roll on the 6th January.....

rybens · 25th November, 2009

six weeks on that bully my god i take my hat off to you , its amazing just how different everyones pre ops are good luck x

purpleprincess29 · 22nd December, 2009

I was told at my initial appointment with the dietician the pre-op diet is an optional one. Choices being two weeks of milk and yogurt or two weeks of meat, meat and more meat.

They also said that once you've made your choice, that's it you can't swop.

Reckon I'd go for the milk and yogurt as it will be easier at work.

Not looking forward to it, but must be done!

gemrovers · 25th February, 2010

This so so confusing, all surgeons want us to follow a diet to reduce our livers but they are all so different. I was expecting to receive an all liquid diet drinking mils etc but the one my surgeon gave me is completely different. It's like a normal healthy diet, plenty of fruit and veg salads etc just avoiding carbs and limit the fat content. I'm so worried it won't work.

It will work as long as u stick to it 100%, the whole point of the pre op diet is to get rid of all the glycogen in ur liver and to do that u have to limit ur carbs. There are carbs in fruit and veg but not as much as in stuff like bread, spuds and pasta.
Good luck am sure u will be fine xx

gemrovers · 27th February, 2010

Lost 6 pounds with the pre op diet and I'm absolutely gobsmacked!!!
