Freaking Out

[sophiapink100]

So I am starting my milk diet tomorrow ... The thought of no food for 4 weeks (pre op) and then however long post op is freaking me out slightly.

I know I can do it as I have done the milk diet before but I just feel like I want to eat my entire weight in food. Has anyone else felt like this?

I was convinced I would slip up and eat in the pre-op, but after a first couple of horrible days it got easier. After the op it was fine as I could have savoury soups and it was all new and exciting - the novelty took a while to wear off.
For the pre-op just keep reminding yourself that it's not forever, and when your op goes ahead safely it will all be worth it. You can and will get through it - we've all been through it and we're all here to support you x

Thank you I know I can do it I just feel like tonight I want to eat loads because I keep thinking I can't eat at all tomorrow. I have done the worst thing I could have and ordered a pizza! Now I feel stupid and bad. So irritating lol.

Sophia the first few days are the worst but after I got those by me it was so much easier. Just think of the ultimate goal, the better health and think of the clothes you will look slinky in :drool:

Thank you! Day one and I am absolutely starving. I struggle to know when to drink the milk. So far I have had a large latte. X

I'm on day 3 (not pre-op, just doing it to see if I can without cheating before I actually HAVE to). Said to my housemate this morning "Guess whats on the menu today! Yep you guessed it, my loyal yet incredibly boring friend milk" and she just laughed and said she was having steak for dinner GAAH!

On the brightside I've lost 4kg by the morning of Day 3 so really can't complain!

Just keep going with it

im now on day 6 of the milk diet, trust me hun it gets easier. im now having to force myself to drink my milk as im genuinely not hungry any more

we get a prize at the end of this if we stick to it, a second chance at a full and healthy life

 

[sophiapink100]

Thanks Ladies.

Just have to grin and bear it. It's almost worse this time compared to last time. I will have a very clean house as that's my plan when I am craving food (when not at work) to just keep busy and do lots of cleaning

I could honestly cry. My plan is 4 pints of milk (I hate milk haha) 1 jelly and 1 oxo cube. I've managed 1/2 pint of milk so far today. Going to make a milky coffee in a sec and see how that goes to try get some more in but there is no way I will get through 4 pints a day.

I nearly cried at work today when I was surrounded by everyone eating

Glad you are doing well chick x

I would struggle milk only...I don't mind 1latte/cappuccino a day but would struggle. My provider embraced Cambridge Plan, maybe it's worth just asking???
Also try "flavoured" sugar free coffees????? Xxx

I asked them what my other options were and they told me that or slim fast but I hate slim fast shakes and it would have cost me more than what I spend on eating a month so opted for the milk x

 

[clare-revised]

Don't slim fast do soups etc I'd do slim fast & make choc into hot chocs n add ice to strawberry to dilute sweetness & make it dead cold...1st weeks def most difficult, specially when its cold as well....just keep telling yrslf ova & ova why yr doin this xxx

You are only allowed the ready made shakes if you opt for slim fast. No food.

Yea that's what I'm trying to do ... I just have the strangest emotions today xx
