4 days in on the pre op diet i am dieing HEEEEELLLLLPPPPP lol.

If i see bacon and eggs again i think i will scream.

lost 4 kilos in 4 days though so it must be working shifting that water and shrinking that liver

it's working alright!
hang on in there, try to avoid temptation, drink loads.........and you'll soon be at surgery date!

The first few days are the worst, ive just finished 3 weeks of the same diet, 3 more to go. Im struggling today could murder a big mac. I suggest something spicy tomorrow for you to make things taste different.

 

[malazak]

thing is im so unsure of what i can eat so im just sticking to the sample menu which is aweful lol

 

[zns]

You can add in as many spices as you like, most veg as much as you like, just limit root veg or any that are high in carbs. You can phone the dietician for advice too they are very helpful

Hang on in there hun, you can do it.

 

[zns]

There are lots of variations though Pre-Operative Dietary Sheet

 

[malazak]

Cheer guys lol

I am determined to cope lol and am now looking for protien shakes for after the op

 

[zns]

You will get through it, promise. If I can you can

 

[phatmomma]

Stick with it, it will be so worth it afterwards...

As for protein shakes, i brought from this site, as recommended by Mixxy i think. Low carb n high protein and if your not in a rush for delivery you can pick a date when they deliver it for free............ Oh yes and the banana and the toffee flavours were lush xx

Dymatize Elite Whey Protein (908g)

 

[malazak]

I am confused though

Post op high protein drinks does it matter about carbs and calories or is whey protien ok i have ordered some samples of this
Impact Whey Protein from Myprotein

 

[marky v]

i use this (i prefer chocolate) >>>>> USN - Ultimate Sports Nutrition

have also used this (i prefer choc orange) >>>> Diet Whey 1Kg Pouch : Body Sculpt : PhD Nutrition


prefer the usn over the phd, but equally as good, very high protein per serving, relatively low carbs, low fat and low calories!!

 

[marky v]

oh by the way, stick with the pre op diet, the smaller your liver and the greater the weightloss the better, you don't wanna not have the op, these few weeks are the hardest strict diet of your life, but remember this, IT'S A FEW WEEKS TILL THE REST OF YOUR LIFE BEGINS, don't let this obstacle defeat you

My dietician told me that WW's do a vegetable soup recipe thats good and you can have it. He said any veg that grows above the ground like peppers, celery, cucumber and also carots even though they are root. Stick with it....Im starting mine soon and Im dreading it lol. X

Keep at it! I've used the MyProtein whey protein drinks and like them apart from the chocolate and nut
