And they're off!!

[Lincs Lass]

Well got 'the call' yesterday and given a date of 25 Feb so had to start the pre-op diet this morning.

Fortunately I was at a 'catered' event last night and the meal was healthy so not too bad!

Today I had a banana for breakfast. For lunch it was 75g turkey, salad and 30g pasta. I've had 10 cherries for a snack this afternoon and have had some of my milk in drinks.

I have left another small protein/smaller carb + veg meal to go, rest of the milk, another piece of fruit and a 'light' yoghurt.

Today seems ok but I can see it becoming a struggle as time goes by!!

Hi Lea. I'm right the way down in Boston - a very cold Boston!!

 

[Lincs Lass]

I have a thumping headache today and have gone back to bed as was up and down to the loo all night - can only guess that's a 'side effect' of the diet!

Banana so far today and water. I'm scarily determined to do this right. I wasn't sure if u could normally being a diet failure but I want this op so much I'm not going to mess it up!!

 

[borogirl]

Yeah my carb headache is about to kick in. It's lingering. I have had 1 weetabix to far plus an hours dog walk. Upstairs cleaning up to keep out of kitchen. X

I'm being 'done' at the Nuffield in Derby but under the NHS. They're trying to get the waiting list at Derby down so are farming some of us out.

Looking around on different forums it looks as though many Nuffield private patients do one week pre-op diet so I'll have done more than that.

My pre-op appointment is 11.45am this Friday so will have a chance to actually find the place!!

 

[Lincs Lass]

All going ok on pre op diet. I WANT this soooo bad!!

Emotionally I'm at the stage where the small chance of problems is weighing on my mind.

I am having the op and will have many healthy years ahead with my son but have the niggle of not surviving.

 

[Lincs Lass]

I really feel like I could eat and eat and eat but I won't!!

Muller light yoghurt, milk in coffee, chicken, salad pasta so far

Low fat/carb. I've not found it too bad if I have tuna as allowed quite a bit of that!! I've also tried to cut smaller and chew longer as that makes it feel like there's more!

Best of luck. I am getting "done" 22nd Feb!

 

[borogirl]

And hair cut, got new "trendy" glasses ready for the new me. Unfortunately I look a bit like Velma from scooby do at the moment!!!! May take time to get used to big glasses after small ones for such a long time.

But my lovely parents have made my pre op food. How nice!!!!!! I bought everything and they have made it.
