Start pre-op diet tomorrow!

[minxie]

Can't believe that my bypass is in 2 weeks time Tomorrow I start my pre-op diet which is low carb, low fat, high protein.

Each day I can have

Breakfast - either a slimfast shake, or 2 eggs
Lunch - a bowl of consome or oxo (yuk!)
Dinner - steamed or grilled chicken breast or white fish with veg or salad

Can't say I'm looking forward to it lol. Not sure whether the milk diet looks more appealing but maybe its a case of the grass being greener

Hurry up 21st!

good luck hun, keep us updated on ur progress xx

 

[minxie]

Thank you. Today is day one and I keep reminding myself what it's all about and what risks I am taking if I don't stick to it 100% this week.

I've said goodbye to all the rubbish food I've spent all my life eating, and saying goodbye to all my extra large clothes lol.:wave_cry: A couple of years ago I lost about 35lbs and gave away lots of clothes and then had to buy more when the weight came back:cry: - it's hard to get my head around the fact that I CAN give them away and wont need to replace them with big clothes but SMALLER ones

Bypass here I come!

 

[mazbrad]

aw minxie think of all them new clothes you gona get . i been out shopping today for some to start my collection off, 19 days till my op. gl on the pre op diet , sure u will do well xx

 

[Solga]

This is day 13 of my milk pre-op diet,as I started it two days earlier I have 3 more days to go. Untill day 5 I kept reminding myself that without going through this diet there is no other ways to get this op,even if I fail it this time I'll have to do it later again,therefore there is no point to waste the time by failing it. Can say that it isn't hard if you really want this operation.Best of luck to everyone who is on this diet right now or getting ready for it,YOU CAN DO IT !!! xxx

Tbh, that sounds great to me - I hate milk so I'm really hoping I don't get that one *lol* Is that all you're allowed - no fruit with it?

 

[Miss Tickle]

Hope it's going well. It'll be your op day before you know it !

Day 3, op in 12 days

Hi everyone, now on day 3 and to be honest I've not struggled at all. I forgot to say that I can have a couple of pieces of fruit as well and they help "plug the gaps" so to speak. It's great to think that any weight lost during this time will NEVER EVER come back

It's so great to have all your support, it makes me realise we are all in this together! Sarah, I don't mind a stalker, lol:8855:

 

[Neeta]

Hiya, I too will be doing the milK diet and two pieces of fruit is not a lot to what I eat at the moment, but this is all going to change anyway. I have been told that I can eat sugar free jelly too and I think (without looking at my book as it isn't with me) three portions of veg a day - a very small stir fry . Good thing I like milk though.

Keep up the good work and keep us posted as to how you are doing. xx
