Surgery due on 27th, am self funding and having problems with the milk diet. I am going with The Hospital Group and their little info booklet says any probs with pre op milk diet switch to 1000 calories per day.
This may sound daft but 1000 calories of what? Has anyone else done the pre op diet of 1000 cals per day. I am a veggie so worried I might just eat the wrong thing. So far I have managed to lose 11 lbs by calorie counting quorn, scrambled egg, odd whole meal toast slice and lots and lots and lots of water and coffee over last 3 weeks ish...
With only 4/5 days to go am terrified they will not do it because of my liver. I have emailed them but got no response... obviously nobody there to speak to now since no replies to numbers I have tried. I appreciate its just an opinion from you guys (not medical advice) but all opinions welcome.
