My pre op diet

[Fuffs]

Yes I was the same, choice and varied options removed, much easier I found....and meant I lived on milky coffees which always felt like luxurious treats

I have a milky coffee at night my milk diet option is not as good as other hospitals. Mine is 8-10 125g qpprox 60 cal yogs and 1 pint of milk.

Needless to say, don't eat that many yoghurts. I have about half. Then I make my oxo into a spicy soup lol

Wish my milk diet was the 3 pints one!!

But yes, it's sooo much better not having food options. Makes me certain I am doing it right. But don't feel ill like the VLCD I did for the first 2 weeks. The low carb option was lurvly. But wS portion controlled. So feel happier I am getting it right with milk and yogs xxx

Fuffs, I've not been posting lately, life getting out of hand here, but I've been reading your threads with a smile, giggle and a degree of trepidation, that, I'm sure, is nothing compared to your own.

My thoughts and best wishes are with you, I'm looking forward to the 30th as much as you are......nearly. ;-)

Well, according to my scales, I have lost another 2lbs

I know, I should stop the addiction. But I have a feeling that particular addiction would be harder to break than biscuits and cake lol

 

[pandora]

I still have a weighing addiction , think until I am really settled into this journey I will continue to weigh daily

 

[Fuffs]

Glad it's not just me chick. I think it will also be that for me. Once my weight is settled, I will stop doing it so often (I so hope I am right lol)

 

[pandora]

In the past I have found when I am actively trying to lose weight I am on them daily , yet when I am not I can go weeks without weighing , its definately a mind power thing

 

[Fuffs]

Then we shock ourselves with the gain when we get on them lol

My scales addiction has been a help in this journey, as it keeps me from going too far out of control. A double edged sword

 

[pandora]

For me , I find it keeps me on the straight & narrow , so to speak . I know when to reign myself if if they sneak up

For me , I find it keeps me on the straight & narrow , so to speak . I know when to reign myself if if they sneak up

That is why when people tell me to stay away from the scales, I say I will but know I wont. I use them to monitor the effects different ways of eating impact on my weight. I am going to keep my scale hopping addiction for now lol

 

[Fuffs]

Well, 4lbs of my totm 5lbs gain has finally gone (4lbs went on mon, 1lb on tuesday)

I only have today and tomorrow left for pre op. Then I will be into post op.

Feeling absolutely fine and happy. And sleeping again now.

So all is good

Bought 3 packs of Bovril cups from Poundland today. You just add water to them. Forgot how yummy Bovril is.

Feeling so happy right now

Perfect weather too

Well today I seemed to have been around food all day. And it's not meant a thing to me. I am deep in ketosis and deep in the zone.

Tomorrow will be my last day of my pre op. Hope my mad pre op diet diary will have helped someone to see if I can do it anyone can.

My advice would be, if you are from Heartlands, stick with the options that keep you in ketosis. And make the real food option very low carb. Not being hungry helps a lot!!!

And keep in the zone. This is for an op you have worked hard for. So no point cheating. Not one food on the planet was or is worth losing my op for.

Stay excited about the op and your new life after. That will help you get through.

Instant tea is my best friend. Find something that gets you through. For some it's milky coffee. Others herbal tea, others sf jelly. Whatever it is indulge in it and make it work for you.

And practice saying no!! Frenemies will offer you cake and everything. Turn it down! But don't look sad. Turn it down with pride.

And try to hang with people who support your endeavours. Their pride on you for committing to your pre op will put you on cloud 9.

Finally, vitamins. I take them anyway. But this is a good time to get accustomed to taking them daily and helping your body. I take a multivitamin with added iron, Omega oil capsule and a fish oil capsule. I also take a calcium.

Oh yeah, also keep your sugar free liquids up

I will get off my soapbox now

Day 27 and last day of my pre op diet is tomorrow and it really hasn't been that hard

Wooooohoooo!
