Thanks

you can still have two small boiled potatoes,(i bread serving) carrot and turnip or sprouts (1 veg serving)and 200grms turkey(2 meat servings) you could even work in a sausage in bacon if you are careful with rest of day as long as it's low fat sausage and back bacon that would count as 1 meat serving and i bought a small plate so it looks fuller than a small amount on dinner plate.(no roasties or stuffing)i am on the low cal pre op so don't know how a milk diet would fit it in x hope it helps good luck

i bought a large pad and worked out my menus for the whole of the two week pre diet worked out servings and everything and varied the meats etc so didn't just stick to chicken because i think half the battle is being bored with what we eat , i had stir fry last night used spray fat 150grms chicken 2 tablespoons stir fry veg and 2 tbls noodles all the family had it as well... i try to make sure i don't have to cook seperately ..2 meat serving,1veg,1 bread, 1 fat xxx

Yes, you will -- imagine all that excitement about having your life changing surgery so early in the New Year -- you have that to look forward to !!

Hopefully that will make up for not being able to dine on the usual Xmas Over Indulgence Banquet that most people do !!!!
