I have been attending L&D since September 2016 seeing the surgeon and dietitian. I went on the milk diet for 4 weeks until 6th December, achieved the 5% weight loss and was then put on 900 cal per day which I struggled with. At least the milk diet takes away all choices. I saw the dietitian...

Hi All, I am having a bit of a panic, I have my pre op assessment on the 23rd December (2 days time!) I've been waiting over 2 years to get this far but I am worried about the final hurdle. I have seen the psychiatrist and all went ok, but I have put on weight since that appointment 3 months...

I started my pre-op diet yesterday. I have opted for the NHS Slimfast diet. Yesterday started as normal, I was full of energy and ready to go but by mid afternoon I was dizzy, my thoughts were all over the place and I had to leave work early. I was in bed by 7pm (normally I'm a midnight girl)...
