5 wks on pre op milk diet?

[mazza141180]

Wow it seems a long time but that's what I've been told. Not sure I've seen anyone else on the forum who had to do it for so long. Either way it's a bonus as will lose more weight and be safer for my surgery

Wow that does seem a long time, hope I don't have to do that

Wow that is a long time!!! I had to do 4 weeks as part of the referral process then another 2 weeks pre op!
Where are you having the op? X

Walsall Manor hun

Just saw you are in West Mids the same as me I will deffo try and avoid where ever it is you're going

I may be wrong (and often am :-D ) but don't Luton & Dunstable also do a long pre-op for some patients?

The tip I boringly trot out over and over again to get through the pre-op diet is to find websites with glorious skinny clothes on and regularly dip in for a reminder of what you could have.

The other one I have used in the past (for self confidence mind, not this) is the Post It notes all around the house - not just on the fridge. With things like 'I'm worth it', 'I Can Do It', etc written on to give you a boost if you begin to struggle xx

Aww thanks lincs lass, sounds good to me. I can really see the light at the end of the tunnel now, I can't wait for my new life!!! Xxx

 

[mazza141180]

Butterfly where are you then?

 

[Butterfly_lady]

I live in Quinton, atm I'm researching where to go for my bypass as I'm doing it priv

 

[mazza141180]

I think it's either Walsall or heartlands hun

 

[Butterfly_lady]

Dolan park?? That comes up a lot not sure where that is tho I've not lived here long

 

[Beegee]

ooo grim, but so worth it in the end.

It's so mad how different the providers guidelines are... you'd think we're all having different ops!!! Good luck with the pre-op & just focus on the fact that it'll be not long, in the scheme of things, until you're on the losers bench xx

I'm Dolan park on 13/8 and had to do 4+ weeks pre op. now only 2weeks to go.... Almost touching distance.
Long hard slog and I wish you well xxxx

 

[mazza141180]
