Evenstarrs Pre Op Diet.

[Retfordmag]

I'm having it done at Thornbury.
Am still doing good on my pre op, but have a massive craving for something savoury

I was like that. What about bovril or bouillon

I was like that. What about bovril or bouillon

When I asked Liz at NGH about oxo she said no , but I got some boullion today but I don't know if I'm going to risk not having my op if I drink it?
Did you have bouillon or Bovril ?

 

[Retfordmag]

I had bouillion and also used oxo cubes , she said was ok to have the odd one providing it didnt sway me towards eating food

 

[Evenstarr]

I might give her a call tomorrow.
Thanks

So pleased your not having withdraw symptoms
I used to freeze one of my yoghurts down really nice for a change
Good luxk

Thanks for the tip, off to get some more tomorrow

I've opted for the 14day milk diet also (even though they said I could do 7) just to maximise the benefits pre and post op.
I'm not allowed any fruit just 3.5L fluid a day so I mix it up a little. I'm lactose intolerant and even with the lactose free milk I still have "bad" days. I now have Whey protein shakes made with water and a litter vanilla, chicken bovril and vanilla mullerlight yogs. Being diabetic always is a challenge as most FF yoghurt's have high sugar content so have to balance the two.

I'm on day 7 now and still going strong, but after a billion dishes of jelly and yogurt..the mere sight of it is starting to make me feel sick
Still not long to go now, tomorrow is my craft morning at my sisters shop and we usually stay on for lunch, so I'll just take a yogurt along with me.
Em xxxx

Don't beat yourself up, it is really, really hard. The most difficult time is when you smell cooking food. If you stick to it like glue until your op I'm sure it won't have done any harm. Good luck

Thanks DK, still felt a little sick this morning and surprisingly not that hungry...lol. At least I don't have a headache anymore.

That's the spirit, just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back on the wagon!
It's not so much the hunger that's getting to me, but the boredom of the same thing over and over...I can't wait to get started on the teeny portions of veg soup I've made.

Only 2 days to go for you evenstar!!! You must be very excited now!! I know the last couple of days was the worst for me on the milk diet, I felt so tired and weak towards the end of it..... But was all worth it when the surgeon said my liver was in good shape and had shrunk nicely so hang on in there xxx

 

[mrscinders]

Oh 2 days isent long bet you carnt wait till its over x

 

[Retfordmag]

I found the last couple of days easier as kept thinking only one or two sleeps til op
