Hi

It depends on your surgeon Im afraid, your right everyone's appears to be different. Dont worry you will be fine on your pre op, it has to be done to shrink the liver otherwise you risk being opened up and refused surgery.

Good luck x

Exactly as Maryann says, just go with what your dr says. I was on mine 10 days and thought I would struggle but the bthought of making sure my liver was prepared for surgery kept me going. Good Luck. x

Ditto again it's down to your surgeon and they are all different. Some will ask you to do the milk diet and some will ask for a low fat diet x

thanx girls i thought that might be the case cheers.x

Hi sweetheart , has your surgeon gave you a date yet for surgery? Because Ive just noticed that it hasnt been changed on your details . They only usualy put you on a milk diet if you are getting prepared for your op ready to shrink the liver. I could be wrong though. Gail

I was advised that I should be on the pre op diet for a minimum of 2 weeks but if I could manage longer then it would be fab. I did 2 and a half weeks and lost a stone - the Whittington provide a 1000 calorie a day diet - not the milk or jelly or oxo thing so at least you can eat.

Oh that's really good to know! I was dreading the milk diet as I can't stand it so the thought of drinking large quantities makes me feel ill! I could have managed a jelly and oxo diet though!

yeh ive heard of the jelly and oxo too my m8 was really lucky tho she went on a 800 cal a day for a wk then the soup and jelly for a wk b4 she had op and that was at macslefield spire hosp.x
