Hi Starr, I did the same diet but I didn't have a particular plan to follow, so set my own meals for the day. I'm sure as long as you don't go over the allowed amount you could swap things around xx

Starr,

Are you on the milk or diabetic diet???? Milk diet does not allow carbs and bread is carbs. So, no potatoes and no bread. If you are feeling light headed you need to have a veg soup without potatoes. I am sure there are lots of people who have loads of recipes for a more filling soup for either your mid-day or evening meal. That will help with the light headedness of being hungry. Drink more if you can and remember, fluid fluid fluid. You will be glad you did post op believe me. Good luck hun, its nearly your turn for the loosers bench, I will shuffle along to make room. xx

Add lentils to your soup hun to up the protien and make it more filling.the light headedness goes after a few days.Plenty of fruit and veg.Keep well hydrated too.Maz x

I was on that diet, is it the one with only 2 pieces of fruit a day, I had banana and youg for breakie so saved my bread for lunch to have a butty or just had one piece of bread and had more potatoes for tea, its very hard going, making the soup is a good idea hun, i had a constant head ache while on it. Good luck xxx

 

[starr]

its a mental diet , one orange or half a banana aday,,,,,no pulses or lentils!,only a tiny amount of potato,,grh!,just smell like brussels! lol even if i put half a bottle on jpg on,i smell like me old nan! lol,keep brushing my teeth , which takes the hunger away a bit , def lots of water helps though,but my head is so tight ,,,and god knows how much water my body was holding cos the pounds are falling off,shame i couldnt do this for longer ,wouldnt need the surgery!thank god its short term only! x

Are you drinking plenty of water? as not enough water can give you headaches as well. I'm getting by on a litre a day but it should be more, but as I'm doing the milk diet any more fluids and I'll turn into a waterfall!
