I'm feeling incredibly nervous about starting this diet, feeling negative when I
Should be feeling positive ......help!!!
 
You'll be fine, just follow the rules your provider has given you and your liver will shrink beautifully. Don't forget it's not a weight loss diet so don't panic if you don't lose much, though it's a lovely side effect if you do. After the first few days you stop feeling hungry. Good luck.

Katie im on day 7 of the milk diet and yes the first few days are hard BUT the hunger goes then and its like a routine and the end result will be soooo worth it.
Im doing an extra week, must be mad but im so focust on my liver shrinking it helps.
You will be fine xxxxxxxxxx
 
Sugar free jelly (negligible calories) was my saviour during my pre op. Good luck with it, it's only for a short time and remember; whatever you lose on it is never coming back, unlike other low calorie diets where the minute you stop them you regain all the weight plus plus!

It will be ok and you should get on well with it, just think of all those 100% milk made coffees you can now drink, I did mine for 10 days, it should have been 7 but I wanted to make sure and ended up loosing 8kg on it, and didn't feel hungry once,, suffered from constipation after 7 days though.

Does anyone know why everyone's length of pre op diet varies? I am on low carb diet for 2 weeks... Now on day 6.... I'm getting sick of the site of veg and salad! Anyone have any ideas for variation to the diet? My friend has said jelly and muller lights , any suggestions will be very welcome :)))) thanks all xx
 
I've just been making food fun and enjoying prepping it so I enjoy eating it more, admitidly I'm only on day 3 lol
 
Just have to grit your teeth and get on with it no other way to do it its got to be done much easier to do it and be able to have keyhole than open procedure xx

My writing was atrocious above lol

Before I was told to keep losing or maintaining. Then my op letter said they ask people to lose a further 5-10% of their weight. Adds a bit too much pressure to a liver shrinkage time methinks. But no pain no gain lol

Soon we will be done and dusted and forget how much of a drag the pre op diet is lol
