Some do slimfast. My hospital says 3-4 slimfasts a day or 2 slimfasts and a 450 calorie meal.
Mine also offers a very low carb (1 serving a day, a serving being 1 slice of bread or 2 small potatoes etc), low cal diet. 1 carb serving, 3 meat/fish/alternative, 5 veg, 2 fruit and 2 milk. If you want the specific diet ask and I'll try and find a minute to type it out. Or you could look on the BOSPA website cos there is a pre-op diet on there.
Hope this helps x

Every surgical team have their own they prefer to follow and you really should follow their advise as if you have any problems or queries they will be able to help you about alternatives etc.

Have you tried doing things with the milk other than just drink it straight? I really don't like milk very much so I've been making milky jellies, adding SF Crusha to it and even made some tapioca today. Other people make milky coffees too. It doesn't seem too bad doing this as there's at least a little bit of variation in it
