milk diet?

[christine77]

ok so i'm confussed - as normal !!!

is the milk diet and the pre op liver reducing diet the same?
it just seems like some people have been on the milk diet for weeks before thier ops.

I think it is, but im sure an expert will be along soon to confirm.

I have to do a 5 day pre-op diet with shakes & 5 fruit & veg per day. Seems to vary depending who your consultant is. x

Yep the milk diet is one of the pre op diets given by many surgeons, mine included! I was on it for 10 days before my op and I lost 10lbs.

Hi the milk diet I have had to do is to loose 5% of body weight to start with. This is asked of everyone at L&D wanting surgery. We then have to do the milk diet again 2 weeks prior to surgery, although I have to do it for 3 weeks as I have a fatty liver. Some people do have a low calorie/low fat diet for their liver shrinking diet. Hope this helps.
