hi all i have now had my date for my bypass as i have said in my diary it is the 28th march and i have just got over day 1 of the milk diet!!!! i am really struggling with what to have though so would appreciate some help from you guys, here is my daily list of what i can have:
2-3 pints semi skimmed milk
2 low fat yoghurts
2 portions of fruit
2-3 portions of vegetables
unlimited sugar free jelly
unlimited tea/coffee/low cal drinks
so the milk i have just about managed 2 pints the yoghurts, jelly and fruit have gone down well but i may have had a bit too much fruit :sigh:
had around 3 pints of nas squash and plenty of coffee too but i am struggling with the veg bit as i only like cauliflower,broccoli,cabbage and green beans what am i supposed to do with it??? i cant say i much fancy sitting down to a plate of veg everyday for the next 3 weeks i wil make some soup over the weekend but again dont want it everyday, sunday i am having a veg stir fry and going to add some herbs and spices for flavour also going to roast some with garlic but i really need some other ideas to get the veg in i have thought of making a curry as i use fresh ingredients so it would only have in 4 fresh tomatoes, an onion water spices and the veg would this be ok on the milk diet or not?? also am i allowed to have diet coke/pepsi while on the milk diet?? i asked the dietician but me and her did not have a good friendly relationship and she told me she will explain more at my next appointment hahaha i have got my surgery date before seeing her again and dont really want to ring her, and i know i have had more info from people on here than from some hospital staff. another thing i have thought about is having tinned fruit as i am sometimes out at work etc and would be so much easier to keep some in my bag in a tin in case i forget to pick up some fresh. i did think about increasing my fruit and yoghurt intake a bit and droping the milk to just 2 pints and forgetting the veg altogether but not sure if i would be able to do this
