[Tracey37]

Hi everyone , I had my pre-assessment last week and was given my pre-op diet sheet , I see alot of people on here doing the milk and yogurt diet. I have been put on low carb diet, from Murryfield hospital in wirral (spire) , dose any know if you lose as much weight on this diet as you do on the milk and yogurt diet. But still waiting for my surgery date to come through

Hey Tracey, the pre op diest has nothing to do with losing weight honey, they need to shrink your liver so that the surgeon can do the op easier, so please done worry, youll be fine xxx

Its a liver shrinking diet, not to loose weight, they wont do the op if you have a fatty liver and wont be able to get to your stomach !

How many appointments at murrayfield have you had? Some peopl have told me 3and some 2???

Weight loss is a bonus when you are on the pre op diet. Like previous posters have written it is a liver shrinking diet, as you use up the glycogen stored in the liver it becomes small and more softer so is easier for the surgeon to move out of the way during surgery.

If the liver is not like this the surgeon may opt to do open surgery instead of keyhole.

However patients do seem to recover quicker physically after keyhole surgery plus less risk of infection etc.

I did a NO carb diet for two weeks and lost 25lbs.

Tracey,

Thanks for your reply.. On my letter from Spire, it just says I have an appointment under the consultant???? When I spoke to the secretary, she said that I would have this appointment and then my surgery would probably be in January, so god knows what will happen.

Are you on Facebook???
