Thank you very much Chrisa. You are such a lovely, informative, positive person xxx

The Heartlands milk yoghurt is 1 pint of milk and 8-10 x 125g pots of approx 60 Cals diet yoghurts. The dietician said I can use mullerlights but have less of them. So have a mixture of yoghurts.

Enjoying it so far as I can go wrong. Using milk for tea. Happy days

Would have preferred the 3 pints of milk and two yoghurts diet though lol

So happy!! Reading my notes I realised I am allowed to have oxo cubes with any of the 5 pre op diets. So I have put a batch of oxo in my thermos. I added a sprinkle of pepper and a sprinkle of curry powder to it. It is yummy!!!

 

[chrisa]

[newcy]

Lol!!!!!! That's funny!!!

Thanks Chrisa and Newcy. Can't wait for next Friday to come But then it will come around really fast!

Being in here makes it a lot easier. Can't imagine doing this without all the wonderful WLS friends I have made along the way xxx

I have found that when talking to peeps who don't use this site. When the staff gives me info at the hospital, I feel like an expert being told what I already know. Though it is still exciting hearing it from them lol

Well I have not eaten 8-10 yoghurts. I have come onto this from doing the low cal, low carb, low fat portion controlled plan and don't have much of an appetite. I have had 2 125g yoghurts, 1 175g mullerlight and pint of skimmed milk. I mix sterilised with pasteurised skimmed. Can't stand pasteurised skimmed straight out lol

I will have one more yoghurt now. Don't want my body to suffer, just because I am not hungry.

I am happy though, as I feel like I am definitely in control, as I have no portion sizes to worry about

hows the water retention Sophie?

hows the water retention Sophie?

Wed morning I had suddenly gone up 2lbs and it was still there this morning So not the best. Bought some aquaban today to see if they will help. Water retention is a nightmare lol

My stomach is puffy too. It's pants!

 

[Fuffs]

I know I am not suppose to weigh daily. But trying to track this water retention.

Yesterday I drank plenty if water, took aquaban, went loo loads, had 1 pint of milk, 3x 125g yoghurts, 1 175g mullerlight and oxo.

My mouth tastes terrible this morning.

Yet I am up another 2lbs!!! That 4lbs on in 3 days! Starting to get very frustrated again, as it moves me back off having hit the 5% weight loss target. Fed up!

I will stick to the milk and yoghurt regardless. My liver will be lovely regardless

You can only do what you have been told to our bodies do let us down at times. xx

But all they will think is I haven't been following my pre op diet and that upsets me. I wish they had not set me an additional weight loss target. I have lost a good percentage already. Just adds stress where liver shrinkage should be the only goal

 

[Fuffs]

I have been the loo for bladder reasons a couple of times more and the gained 2lbs are gone. I can trust my scales are they are not the type that change if you step on and off.

So it was literal water.

Going to chill now feeling happy again!! Xxx

The medics will know the difference between real weight gain and water retention so I wouldn't worry on that scale as your liver will be looking fabby.

I'm still struggling at mo with the pre op diet but it is my head as I know I'm not hungry.

Next week is going to be the best week ever

It is all in the head. I keep thinking this Sunday would have been my last Sunday dinner of any substantial size. But it wouldn't have been. Haven't had a Sunday dinner for weeks lol

When I am just being focused, pre op is a breeze.

Next week will be awesome!
