My pre op diet

[Fuffs]

I had a voicemail from my hospital yesterday. Called them back this morning and my date is 30th March

So, I have to go straight into pre op. Heartlands has 5 pre op diet options. I am doing the meal replacement option. I have lots of VLCD packs I have saved to use. I am so excited!

Didn't get chance to do the last meal thing. But this was the perfect way for it to happen for me


I shall talk of how I get on with my pre op on here.

Breakfast: had a fruits of the forest Cambridge pack

Thank you so much Caren. Can't believe after over 3 years the end is in sight. The battles are won and the war is nearly over. Can't believe it! Xxx

I think it's best too!! And I love so many foods, would have felt wrong choosing one lol

Really chuffed you got a date but a four week pre op diet seems a tad over the top. Good luck x

 

[FuturePerfect]

Doh! I should have read this thread before I asked in your other thread which pre-op diet you were doing.

Heartlands is 2-6 weeks Karlos.

 

[Karlos]

With most hospitals here and in the States opting for a two week pre op four to six weeks seems excessive

It's portion controlled, meal replacement, 800-1000 Cals, VLCD and milk and yoghurt diet

Thank you to you and everyone for your kind words and support.

Not sure why Heartlands have up to six weeks. The bariatric dietician did once say it was one of the surgeons preference. But not sure if he is the one who left or one who is still there lol

Well, today has been hard in one way (having not mentally prepared myself) and easy in another (there is no way I will cheat on my pre op, so stops my recently ressurected habit of picking).

I had a cambridge butterscotch shake for lunch and a mrp veg soup for dinner.

My stomach feels that achey empty you feel the first couple of days on a liquid VLCD.

Cant wait for ketosis lol

Ahh I know that feeling, I'm 7 days on the pre op (no carbs) and I've lost half a stone. I must admit I thought I would find it harder than what it has been but like u said there was no way I was/am going to give in to temptation, way too much on the line!

Congratulations on ur date and good luck

Thank you Vicky

I know the pre op is not for weight loss. But well done!!!

Thanks, I'm a bit worried as the hospital said that people have been turned away as their liver hasn't shrunk enough so I think I've convinced myself that the more lbs I lose the better chance that my liver has shrunk!

My mind may start to think a bit along those lines too lol

You will be fine though

 

[Fuffs]

Well, in bed and not inspired by the thought of a shake to get out lol

I will do in a bit. Glad to be on day 2. Still feels mightily unreal though lol
