Confused about pre-op diet???

[slimbydecember]

Hi guys, i'm due to start my pre-op diet soon, yay!!

This is what i'm allowed: -

Yoghurt (any type)
Fromage Frais (any type)
Fruit juice (500mls a day)
Tea and coffee with skimmed milk
Fruit or herbal teas
Sugar free squash

I'm confused about the yoghurt, not sure how much i'm allowed to eat and also does it have to be low fat?

Am I allowed yoghurt with honey or fruit in or does it have to be plain?

I love Yeo Valley Greek yoghurt with honey but it's not low fat and has honey which is sugar?

Can anyone help?

Hey SBD,

I chose to buy low fat, just to be on the safe side, i mean i didn't want to jeopardize my Pre-Op as it all counts towards your actual Op..

&& i do know that they can tell whether of not you have cheated, by the size of your liver..

I'd stay away from sugar as much as possible..

That's as much as i can help, but if your still unsure.. i'd give your Bariatric/ Surgical team a call to double check..

Good luck with your pre-op diet..

Any-more questions.. Ask away!

Can anyone tell me how many yogurts I should be eating a day?

 

[Marie1986]

I was told to switch between the milk and yoghurt's.. to vary things..

But as in quantity.. All hospitals have different amounts..

So unless someone from your area/pct that has done the same as you, comes along, i'd ring your team and double check quantities..

You never know.. until you ask.. right?

Ok thanks, i'll ring the hospital and check. Silly that they send out a list detailing what I can eat but not how much!!

 

[Marie1986]

Makes us use our brains! Dont they think we have enough to think about!!

ha ha..

Good Luck though..

Ive got my 1st fill today, perhaps.. so ill be back on liquids again.. ha ha..

They will never be far away throughout this experience!

I used to go all day, picking little bits then a mahoosive meal of a night.. then snacks..

Its a big ass learning curve and its noway near easy..

I don't want to scare you by anything I say, so please don't think I'm giving the band a bad name, jeez I love my band to bits, its now a part of me, we're a team, I'm just being honest..

But..

Your mind will go through a lot more than your body.. Weird huh?
