Brian's Diary

[BrianT]

OK Gang,

Day 1 of 10 day Pre-op (thanks to Mazbrad for the diet sheet)

Decided to go for the milk option as I like milk and if I had chosen the one with food on it I'm not sure I could have kept to the sort of portions I'm supposed to. In my mind if there is no Food then I can't go wrong.

I have to say it's not been too bad today I know it's only the first day but I've been quite busy and so the mind has been occupied even though all we were doing was talking.... mainly about me and what I could and couldn't eat both now and post op.

Breakfast started off with a cup of tea followed by a pint of Milk.
mid morning a ½ litre of Water.
Lunchtime I had Pint of Milk, OXO Cube (with Water ), a Fat Free yoghurt, a Banana and a Sugar Free Jelly
Mid afternoon a ½ litre of Water
Dinner Pint of Milk, A fat free Yoghurt an Apple and an Orange
Mid Evening A glass of Fresh Orange Juice

The only downside has been the constant trips to the loo which as my loo is downstairs isn't too bad....However I sleep upstairs so tonight might be a tad annoying!
On the whole I haven't really felt hungry even when the family were eating Ham egg and Chips.... don't you just love them
So 1 down 9 to go and then its the big day

Likewise Starr keep at it and we'll soon be there.

The strangely annoying thing is that so far I'm not missing the food, I'm sure it will come but if it was this easy then WTF did I not try not eating sooner!
Although I say I'm not missing/thinking about it, it seems that everything on the TV is about food. Not only that but all the foods I love....come to think of it that's not that difficult to achieve really as I love everything apart from butter beans or Broad beans......:9529:......Hmmm maybe I am thinking about it :d'oh:

 

[BrianT]

good luck starr, i envy the pair of ya lol xxx

Hope all goes well for you both Brian and Starr. I had the high protein liver reducing diet. If I'd had the choice I would have gone for the milk one as I found restricting the amount of food hard. No problems there now though.

 

[starr]

I'm really fortunate that I don't have to cook for other people and so I really do feel for you both it's must be really tough, at least I can just walk away if I feel the need to when my lot are eating.

 

[starr]
