Its quite high carb if 4 pieces of fruit are allowed my hospital never specified a fruit. Fruits like bananas are usually what people avoid when cutting carbs. Sorry I can't help further. Good luck xxx

My info says 3 small pieces of fruit, I'm really finding this all confusing. My consultation with Star was over a year ago, and I can't really remember what was said, and the sheet we need to follow is so basic!!

I'm almost living on sugar free jelly at the mo, and got horrible headaches
Oh and I am drinking Bouillion which is really nice

Good luck x

I find this confusing too - when I was advised to try low-carb by the hospital dietician, she said avoid fruit as it is high in carbs and I was eating too much.

That is my understanding of low carb too. Hospitals are all confusing!

Dieticians have a lot to answer for!! Mine would never say the same thing!

When I did the low carb, fat and Cals real food option of my pre op, I stuck to veg and lean protein like chicken. I have been a low carb addict in the past, and realised fruit wasn't gonna help me get into ketosis. And ketosis is great, as you have no hunger then

Your team need to give you some straight answers. It's a shame it's bank holiday

I have been having a splash of milk in my tea, but I'd better stop if that's the advice Sheila has given!

My headache is better today
