Yes Kelly you have to do a pre op diet for either surgery! If you've not got to the pre op appt stage of your journey yet then it may be they haven't mentioned it but they will. If you are diabetic they will more than likely put you on a low carb low calorie diet instead.

Kelly you can use your milk to make sugar free milk jelly and also make milky coffee's which are very satisfying when hungry! You just need to be inventive with it x

Hi Kelly, I'm now 9 days into the milk diet and have lost 15lb, seem to be losting 1lb+ per day which must be mostly fluid.

I hate milk, jelly and coffee too and found the first few days a real struggle due to the hunger pangs. On day 4 the hunger pangs dissappeared and now i'm fine as long i don't allow myself to dwell on food.

Am drinking diet coke mostly which I like, however, as I am now drinking more of this I am using a straw to limit the possibility of my teeth becoming discoloured.

All the best with the diet.

I'm type 2 diabetic, so will I have to do a food diet instead of milk when the time comes?
If so, any idea what it consists of - I'm really, really fussy

think its extremely low fat loads of protein and basically no carbs... xx
