@Chill - Which LRD are you doing? I'm on the 800 cal version. Good for versatility but a killer in terms of fatigue, though they all are. But mostly I think I'm knackered because work is pretty full on at the moment getting everything finished before I go off for surgery. Haven't told anyone there which surgery, decided I didn't need nosy ninnies in my business - I think they all think I'm having a hysterectomy. That's fine. But I must have two wombs! One's already been taken out ;0)
@MrsN I was given the choice of the milk diet or what looks like low cal! I don't drink milk so have opted for the latter!
I can have a weetabix or slice of toast with no sugar jam or marmalade for breakfast.
2 crispbreads no spread with low fat cheese or eggs for lunch and salad veg (as much as I like)
A 50g portion of chicken or fish with 2 spoons of rice or pasta or a small boiled potato.
I can also have lots of veg as long as they aren't root veg!

Yeah.... You will be watching food programs soon too! Good luck with the LRD I was dreading it and didn't think I would be able to do it, but we get the strength from somewhere! Keep focused on why you are doing it - I had post it notes around the kitchen and house! First 4-5 days are the toughest.

The first 4 - 5 hours have been bad enough lol
I think you'll be fine - they wouldn't offer t if they weren't confident. My surgeon said I only needed to do 7 days really but I did 2 weeks.
I'm fine.
Just chilling out in my room watching a film.
I'm not going down to theatre til 4 or later. Bit of a bummer cos I just want it done and the longer I wait the more anxious I'll become.
The waiting around is the hardest part. I'm used to waiting around at hospital when my son has had his operations but I know it's going to be worse for me. Glad you are able to chill out in your room though as my previous experiences were being stuck in a waiting room until theatre were ready

I had to go in for 7am and they didn't come for me until 3.30pm - I got quite bored in the end but at least it was better than being totally scared. Are you in your sexy hospital gown and stockings yet @MrsN ? I felt like a model strutting down to theatre in that get up! (I might be being slightly sarcastic )
