Up your water intake, how much milk you on a day?

 

[Haylz6]

3 pints but I find it hard to drink that much when at work, I find I hardly drink any water as am sooo full

Am just super stressed over it

Its not about just about weightloss,its to rid your liver of glycogen and make it floppy.Dont worry.

I had the same problem after following the diet for 2 weeks and putting on 1 pound...i was gutted! But the morning of the op i had a word with the doctor as i was still reeling about not losing he reassured me that it was not put on the diet to lose more weight just to shrink my liver so plz don't worry. my weight loss for the last few months before my op was very slow so i just blame that.

I did a lean and green diet that work wonders... if you email me I could forward it to you [email protected] also my doctor.prescribed a medifast shake.which in the becoming doesn't taste well but when you get used.to it taste likes cake batter and mocha coffee!

DON'T do anything different to what your team has given you to do!! Any change in diet from what they give you can put your chance of the operation at risk!

As rightly said above, the milk diet is NOT for losing weight, it's for shrinking the liver. It's NEVER given to people to lose weight. Losing weight from SOME people is just a secondary action!

But they have said I have to lose 3 stone by the first of July for the operation, and am so worried that if I don't they will send me away xx

Have they put you on the milk diet for so long or have you took it upon yourself to do it for that long as a diet?

 

[Haylz6]

They have put me on it.

My pre op is on the 1st july and op on the 11th July

They say I have to lose 3 stone by my pre op date, I am paying private if that makes any difference too ot

Thanks for the advice

In case any L&D people read this, we are actually given the milk diet too lose weight at the beginning of our journey, we all need to lose 5% of our body weight, to get through to the next stage, so sometimes it is actually used to lose weight.

Am paying for mine due to my area taking at least 4 years to get to the funding stage

Am just so stressed and worried they will say no if I don't shift the 3 stone

It's really good you're following your own PCT's advice. This, as with other forums, people offer advice meaning well, but it might actually get patients into trouble!

You have my very very best of wishes xx

I have to admit I didn't lose a lot of weight on the liver reducing diet, mine wasn't the milk one. However, the surgeon was very pleased with my liver when he went in to do the op.

Have you thought about ringing the dietician for some advice as you were given a goal to reach? You never know he/she might have a good suggestion.
