which milk?

[Hannah2]

Hi all,

I have to start my pre-op diet this weekend eeeeeekkkk! I have been given 2 pints of milk and then one meal with 75g of chicken and leafy veg/salad but can include onions, tomatoes, cucumber, cauliflower, peppers. So can do things like ratatouille and also cauliflower rice!

Anyway, my question is about the milk - what milk did you have to use for your milk LRD? My sheet says skimmed milk but I hate it! I have asked if I can use the "best of both" milk as there is no more sugar in it than skimmed, (waiting to hear back from nutritionalist) but I just wondered if other people have been able to use semi skimmed on their LRD?

Thanks

H2

Hi Hannah. I think it's the skimmed milk (red). Don't worry you get used to it. Good luck

I had green milk semi skimmed
And was allowed the half half but every hospital different xxx

Just heard back from nutritionist and can have the best of both so it will be a bit more palatable! I just hate that all info is different between centres!

Ooh wish I could have semi skimmed. Hey ho!

I had semi skimmed too. I quite often have soya or almond milk now but for the LRD I was glad it was something I could get from the corner shop. Good luck x

I had semi skimmed but that's because it was just 4 pints of a milk a day. Would have preferred skimmed x

Same as cassie all we had was milk so needed extra nutrients hence the semi skimmed xxx can't stand milk now xxx

 

[Hannah2]

Ah ok, so it was semi skimmed without a meal, just with milk. Guess that makes sense!

Yeah I tried skimmed milk but was way to light headed on it and the difference between the two nutrion wise is a huge step.

I am really worried about being light headed in the day at work with only skimmed milk all day at work! Will have to see how I get on!
