milk diet for me

before my op i was a type2 on insulin (2 types)metformin and pioglitazone but since the op i've taken no meds at all but my sugars are around the 10 mark (told by the diabetes team that i might need metformin when i start eating propely)

anyways back to your question theres people on here that were put on a low carb diet to shrink the liver but............the l&d put me on the milk diet .........just lucky that i like milk

Hi Chloe, I have been given the milk diet with instructions to stop insulin whilst on it but continue with piaglitazide up until the morning of my op. Hoping not to have to go back on either post op but will have to wait & see. x

lunch is 1 slice of bread or 2 crisp bread 2 eggs or 100g of lean meat
or 4 slices ham.chicken,or 150 fish ,unlimited green salad,or green veg except peas, butternut squash and toms are allowed
evening same as lunch but with 2 small pots or 2 tbls pasta or rice,
1/3 pint of milk a day

I was given this on Monday with the instructions re insulin & medication so it is very current. I prefer then milk option to the low calorie but everyone is different ... good luck with your choice, sweet xxx

i would have preferred the milk diet as i think its easier to to stick to portions ,ie pints,,rather than weighing everything ,,,but i have gall bladder probs and stones so milk was a no no ,milk always starts a gallbladder attack off for me id av been in agony , x good luck everyone x
