Hi lyn
May i ask is it gastric bypass your going for. Ill take it as you are on based on this ill try help out a little.
Ok where to start.
Let get one thing stright dont let the doctors nurses get the better of you. i mean this as in if you fail a diet you fail so what.
What the hell are you going for a operation if you could keep to them. They know it and really you do aswell. The only diet that does count is the 5% wieght loss this is in form of a liquid diet.
Now this is so easy to do becuase your going to lose all your stored waters/liquids from your body they are not looking for fat to come off , What they want is your liver to be as small as possible so its just a liver shrinking diet. so the the surgery can be as safe as possible.
When i 1st went to the hospital they took my weight when i went to see the doctor for my operation date i was just over 1 stone more then when he 1st saw me.
Thats because i had a weight problem. but i showed i could do the milk diet so all was ok.
So in basic your the patient with a problem their the fixers with out you they dont have a job.
The milk diet isnt so bad you get a little grumpy but the milk does fill you up. But you will be surprised being on the diet i will list on how content you can be.
Morning wake up 1 x pint of milk
Between the milk and lunch time drink as much tae as you like but use sweetners.
Lunch time 1 x pint of milk
same again as much tea as you like
Dinner time 1 x pint of milk
this is where you may start to feel hungry so you can have extra
1x cup of hot oxo trust me its not too bad veggie i feels the best
1 x whole packet of sugar free jelly.
chewing gum up to 3 bits sugar free
and another pint of milk
The extra's you can split up through out the day and you can even have uptp 5 pints aday or 6 for a start.
But the less you drink the more you lose and the less time you will be on the diet.
I did it in 2 weeks easy. But the morning of the weigh in i didnt drink anything and i had a mild laxative to make sure. ( im not saying the laxative was good but 1 wont hurt )
All this done everyone was happy and your down for a operation date.
But please please please dont cancel if you feel after the operation half as well as i feel your be loving it.
And also 4 weeks post op im no longer diabetic yipyeee no more insulin for me
Well i hope i havent got my lines crossed and it is the bypass your going for or the band . then this may help
If not just ingore me same as the wife does
best of luck my thoughts are with you
p.s if they give you grief i would be mor ethen happy to have a word in their ears. because its the last diet and that alone that counts
