I had my consultation at THG on the 1st September (Saturday) at which point I weighed 15stones - my consultant told me to enjoy the weekend and start to eat more healthily from Monday - I didn't need telling twice and by the time I weighed in on Monday I had out on 3.8 lbs GUTTED I had told them I had bought slimfast for convenience and was told that although it wasn't necessary to cut back so much it would help with the transition. i was booked for the 13th -(from pre-op diet to operation will be 10 days) I'm not good at having breakfast and lunch - slimfast had been on offer and I bought enough to last me 4 weeks - the idea being 2 weeks post op and 2 weeks post op - I know weigh 14st 10lbs - loss of 7.8 lbs in 6 days - MY CONCERN IS I haven't lost anything in the last 2 days and I've read the post op diet it's more than what I'm eating now and so MY QUESTIONS ARE A ) How important is the Carb reduction in shrinking the liver or is it about losing weight - because by consultant just said healthy about 1000 calories nothing about carbs !!!! B) Do you think I should swop my slimfast for milk for the last four days c) - I've noticed the calories post op is more than pre-op so wouldn't that mean I will put on weight ?
