drink plenty of water to keep your intestines working properly as the milk will be used as a food and not as a drink :dancing_snowman: sorry about the dancing snowman but i wanted to see how he looked 
WOW!!!!!!!!!! Just got letter through post with my triple appointments with Nurse, Psychologist & Dietician, for the 30th August.
Wow Chris - that is even less than mine at 4 weeks in between
Very Big Chris - I wanted to ask about the constipation thing. The dietician said about Fibrogel so I bought some yesterday. But they were quite expensive so don't fancy spending lots of money on them if I don't need them. I have taken 1 sachet today and will see if this is enough as the instructions say 1 or 2 per day.
Very Big Chris/Joffy01582 - did you take Fibrogel or did you take something else instead? (apart from tomatoes!)
Good luck Joffy01582 and Chris2710 for 30th August
i'll be have my op on that day
Hi Chris - Please feel free to stalk me on the board
I have just come back from my 2nd set of appointments today.It is only just over 4 weeks since my 1st appointment and the nurse told me today that up until quite recently the 1st and 2nd appointments were running 4 months apart so we are quite lucky at the minute
The appointments today went well but to be honest the nurse's appointment was mostly a duplication of what I went through with the doctor on my initial appointments in July so I am not quite sure what the point of this one was. Although she did give me some further information on all the procedures and some leaflets and asked me what my expectations are. Then the dietician's appointment was to run through my eating patterns and to give me the info on the milk diet. Lastly the psychologist's appointment ran through my family and weight history and my thoughts/emotions I associate with eating/food.
Just need now to sort out my vitamins, bovril, sf jelly and of course LOTS of milk ready for tomorrow
It is only day 4 today but so far it has been much easier than I thought - not sure if that will change a few more days in though! The hardest bit for me is the bovril/oxo cube as I am not keen on them.
I have replaced the Bovril with a Ham stock cube which for me is much better and like drinking liquid bacon . I have found that homemade coffee milkshake is also my saviour. I dissolve 1 teaspoon coffee and 2 sweeteners in a small amount of hot water then add 1 pint of milk and a handful of ice cubes to the blender. Whizz up and hey presto 1 pint is suddenly nearly 2 pints and tastes yummy. I have this twice a day and a large milky coffee twice a day. I didn't drink much coffee before the diet so think I may have been converted from tea to coffee.
i've just done a week on the milk diet so far one week to go
