And so it begins...Kirsty's journey to a sleeve!!

[xk1rstyx]

Day 2 of trial milk diet going ok had 1/2pint milk, 1 yogurt and one cup of bovril i find it better to have my 2 pints of milk as 4 half pint cups. Sometimes i add no added sugar krusha which is allowed. I tried a sugar free jelly last night but wasnt keen. Day 1 was hard but i think im cumin to terms with it now. Jus shame its not the real thing and my op is in 2 weeks lol. Good practice tho

Hiya im feeling much better today yesterday was jus a shock to my system i think. Lets see how i cope tonight as i find that hardest. I sent hubby up asda last night to get some bovril and that really helped was like having a cup of soup. Felt more like food than the milk. Had a peek at the scales this morning an iv lost 2lb since yesterday. Gna try not to weigh myself now till friday. Kirsty xx

I'm glad thinks are a little easier today make me positive about starting mine and it's looking good with the scales too bet your glad bet your gunna have a canny loss on Friday xx

Its not as bad as i expected but you have to stay committed. Suppose its more motivating when your op is at the end of it so i think when we do it for real it would b easier as you cant quit cuz if u do your liver wont of shrunk and would make ur op less safe.
i cant tell u how much of a difference the bovril makes id definatley make sure u have that. Im confident i can lose 9lb and hit my target on time if i stick to this. Then gna switch to a low calorie diet to maintain the weight i lose and maybe lose some more. Im gna tell them iv been on milk diet for 2 weeks i might get a mairacle anfmd they say well stay on it an we will do op soon. Doubt it tho haha

I know what you mean Kirsty, My milk diet was 3 pints skimmed milk, 2 yoghurts, a piece of fruit and a bowl of veg soup made with stock cubes and no rice, lentils or barley. That plate of soup was the highlight of the day, just to taste something salty was bliss.
I found the diet ok for 10 days actually not sure I could have went much longer though, lost 13lbs as well so it worked.

Im doing 13 days to help me hit my weight loss target the dietician set me. They said i need to meet the target for when i see psychiatrist and if he gives me the ok the next step is pre op so hoping wont b long and if i meet target will prove im commited to changing my lifestyle long term.

Maybe I should try that. You make it sound appealing. What's the target calorie intake?

Im not sure what the calories are its the lsd diet my hospital gove us to do before op. I havent got my op date but im doing it as a practice run to help prepare me for whats to come and to help me achieve my weight loss target. Its actually not too bad so far. 3 days down 11 to go.

I find myself at the saying goodbye to good stage even though I haven't technically booked surgery yet... Its so irrational I recognise that I am chemically addicted to food. I'm going to give it a try and follow what you posted above for guidance. Thanks. X

Well done so far. They cannot question your dedication honey. I am sure you are, but don't forget those A-Z multivitamins and minerals so you maintain your levels and ensure you stay match fit for your surgery. Take care xx

Thanks deb, iv been takin a multivitamin and i take a dissolvable vitamin c to boost immune system but iv always took that one. Im doin ok so far im not really that hungry and i actually find it hard to fit all milk in. Getting into a routine now with it tho. The first day was the hardest but it easier now. Do you think i should tell mr kendrick im doin the milk diet to show him im pre pared and commited or shall i not tell em? Did u do this when on tier 3? Any news on your follow up appointments

Today has been a gd day, pretty easy but as of about 9pm tonight im dying to eat something. Not even that hungry. My hubby pointed out earlier that iv not eaten in 3 days an now all i can think about is food. Im not gna give in cuz im doing so well i jus find it so hard at night time suppose this must b when id eat the most which is why im in this position and having to go through all this. Writing this post has jus help me realise why iv gotta stick with it.

Hey Kirsty- I'm Lu! Nice to 'meet' you! It's completely normal to get the night time munchies, I used to get them all the time even when I knew I wasn't actually hungry! The thing to remember is that it will pass, and if you really can't stand it have a nice low calorie drink? Wishing you luck X x
