Milk Diet..

[molly68]

I've only been on it one day and its making me feel sick already! Does it get better? I'll have to try the sugar free Crusha, maybe that will help.

Aaw Molly - Don`t fret hun x

The milk diet can take a bit of getting used to....and usually the first few days are definately the worst. But do try to stick with it as you don`t want the doctors cancelling your surgery as your liver has`nt shrunk enough to be safe to operate!

Are you only have milk? Or are you having milk replacement drinks like slimfast or a protein drink?
Also having sugar free drinks are fine and drinking plenty of liquid during the day as well as milky drinks is very important.

Come on girl - not too long to wait for your surgery now! you only have this one last push before your all done and dusted!


Take care hun x

Cheers Kat, I've just had milky coffee's all day. I dont feel like falling off the wagon just feel I might struggle with the milk..I'll get some crusha tomorrow and have an oxo drink as well. Glad to hear it gets better though

It definitely gets better, I had a major headache the first day through lack of food I think, but luckily I like milk and I still do even after 7 weeks of the milk diet ( split into 5 weeks then 2 weeks pre op) you can do it just think what is waiting for you at the end if it

Wow 7 weeks, thats really good going. Luckily I like milk anyway, so hope the queazy feeling passes.

I have just got my date for surgery in 2 weeks and been given my liver shrinking diet - our Hospital dont do the milk diet - its a low starch and sugar diet - restrictive but not as bad as milk only! Good luck

I did a self imposed milk diet when I was about 18. I did not have enough money to do slimfast lol....So did milk and vitamins. Ended up backed up and had to go to the doctors.

Have others had this while on the pre op milk diet?

I did lose 10lbs in a week though. So that was cool lol

Thanks Ruth, good luck to you too. Mine is self imposed as I was given the option for low cal, but I decided to go for milk and get into the swing of things.

Fuffs, I really hope I dont get backed up (thats if I have taken the right meaning for this term!) I have enough problems in that department as it is!
