Hi Charley
Sorry to hear you have put the weight back on, i found it really hard to go back to food but once i started eating the 500 a day i just crave food again.
I am also at the L&D and also have Mr Date but i don't have a date yet for op, i am hoping it is soon.

500 calories a day is low to have unless the docs have put u on that hun! i was at L&D and they only asked me 2 do the milk diet twice.. once for the 5% and the other 2 shrink the liver. and its quite along time to be eatin 500 cals for - im only 12 weeks out but already eat double that a day! xx

thing is i dont get it that if i could lose weight and keep it off that easy i wouldnt need the op.

i said that! the diet pre op is the hardest thing by far but all id say is dont make it harder on yourself by doing it longer than u should. x

 

[charley1987]

they have put me back on it and if it was up to them i was on the milk diet for a month and since then i should have been on the 500cal a day diet my milk diet was around november i think they r being mean to me

Our surgeons and dietitians say they are aware how hard it is for people to stay on a very restricted diet and only ask us to do it for 6 weeks prior to the op.(Heartlands)

6 weeks sounds like ages to be on such a strict diet! I would be constantly thinking about food! x
