Milk diet

[karenlouisemee]

Hi and good evening to you all i will be having my surgery soon and i have heard everyone chatting about the milk ang yoghurt diet as i will possibly be following this myself i would like to know what this consists of in a day thanks for the help karen x

3 pints of milk and 2 low fat yoghurts. Any milk for tea/coffee is to be taken out of the allowance. Drink as much water/diet fizzy drinks as you want.

More to the point though.... when you say you are having your surgery soon, how soon is soon? All I'm really asking is, why hasn't your surgery provider spoken to you about this?

Hi I am on the milk diet at the moment. Mine consists of 5 pints of semi-skimmed milk, 1 or 2 oxo cubes, 1 or 2 fybogel, 1 multi vitamin tablet and 2 pints of low calorie fluid a day. On top of this I can have up to 3 sticks of sugar free chewing gum and 1 sachet of sugar free jelly a day.

I can't believe how much all these pre-op diets vary! Makes you wonder on what basis the diets are worked out.

Are they individually tailored to the patient, I wonder? If that's the case it's very important to follow the advice given by your own dietician.

i think each hospital must have it's own preference, with back up options in case a person doesn't get along with one of them

Fybogel is to make you go to the toilet so you don't get constipated.

I have just gone on the diet and am on 5 pints of milk a day, i am finding it difficult to consume this amount of milk, to make it a little easier on myself I am using sugar free milkshake liquid instead of squash.

I am on the milk diet. I have to have 4pints of semi skimmed milk, one oxo cube and a sachet of sugar free jelly a day, and also at least 1 litre if not more of water/ nas squash etc.

I am finding it good, have got my self into a routine with it and have my oxo drink and a portion of the jelly for lunch

I did well on the milk diet - struggled to drink the 5 pints as prescribed. To get through the milk quota I used a pint with the sugar free jelly - which was a nice treat. I lost 2.5 stone in eight weeks.
