Hi lulunics, thanks for all that info!!! I haven't met Mr sutton yet, have always met Mr Williams and he was lovely - I thought he would be doing the surgery but when I went to pre -op on Monday I was told it would be Mr Sutton, glad he is ok!!!! As for the pre op diet I was all ready to start on milk ect but I am allowed to eat 'normal' food as long as i have no more than 1000 calories a day and obviously everything low fat. Which I am sticking to religiously!!!!! I don't want it to be cancelled!!! Was this the pre-op diet u followed???? I even spoke to the dietician on Thursday and she said I am doing well and to carry on, I did mention the milk pre-op diet but she said due to u having to have it afterwards this way you don't get so fed up with it - hopefully!!!! Thanks for your help x
