I always suspected I wasn't normal .........

[angelajoy1961]

Okay so I always knew there was something not normal about me so it shouldn't have come as any surprise that I'm loving the milk diet whereas most people seem to hate it ! The dietician told me I would be constipated and should take a laxative but I sure don't need one !!

Now the question is ....... will I be the only person who actually gains weight once they have the bypass ???? :8855:

I will compare notes with you next week..
i am off to invest in a batch of sugar free crusha (if i ever find it !)
now the bigger question..if your not normal...what does that make me !!!!!!!!!

I quite liked the milk diet too!
But I've never been normal! LOL!
and i've lost 4 stones 12 pounds so far since my bypass, so no, it will work for you!

 

[angelajoy1961]

I feel better knowing that I'm in the company of other un-normals (I made that word up!)!!!!

 

[Grace]

Yay! The un-normal club!

Ive always been un-normal......I like to think of it as a twilight world existing alongside the normal population..its quite a nice place ask Maz XX

 

[angelajoy1961]

:silly:I guess I'm normal amongst un-normals lol

 

[Kerry Jo]

We're normal its every 1 else that isn't haha

I also loved the milk diet i think cause i was in control if you know what i mean. I found i had bag fulls of energy xxx

What does the milk diet consist of? The low fat low carb diet will be really hard although I have worked out what I can have I know I am going to find it hard to not eat too much otherwise I would not be going down the WLS route in the first place. I feel that it would be easier to do a milk or slimfast diet than the low carb/fat one.
The hospital says we can do the optifast diet if we wish but have you seen the price of it (gulp!)?

 

[dottychic]

The milk diet for me, they are all slightly different, was 4 pints of milk per day, 1 low fat yogurt and 1 oxo cube Its was tough but I chose it over the low carb one because I felt if I could eat no food atall I wouldnt crave it as much! It worked though XX

 

[DaisyMaesy]

My thoughts exactly Dotty!
Also would there be any harm in changing the milk into home meade yoghurt do you think?

 

[angelajoy1961]

You need to stick to what your dietician says as it's all works out to give you the right calories etc.
I'm having 4pts semi skim milk, 2 oxos and 1pt no sugar jelly.

The different teams have different idea's don't they?

You have to do 4 weeks then 2 weeks pre op. of the milk diet. I was told on Friday, for me in Cornwall it is between one and two weeks of the liver reduction diet but only before the op. And I can have unlimited SF Jelly and bovril / marmite / stock / Bouillon woo hoo I shall go mad and have three !!!

I too am looking forward to the milk diet.

 

[DaisyMaesy]

I will call the dietician some time this week and see what she says. I know I would find the milk diet so much easier
