Pre Op diet starts today...

[ldavidson84]

that means 2 weeks today i will be on that table

Well its day 1 of my diet and im full of a cold and feel like poo but my head is in the right place with regards to my diet.

I had a girls night last night and said they were to eat all the nibbles as i didnt want them in house, but all were not eaten so i put them in fridge but im not even tempted i hope that lasts!!!

I am on low fat/low carb diet and have to aim to eat certain portions of food a day, so i have made myself a table to tick off my portions so i know what i have eaten.

Please if anyone is on the same diet and would like the table i have made to help please let me know, its nothing special but i think it will help me.

Cant believe its only 2 weeks away :bliss::bliss::bliss:

Good luck Leanne, you sound very organised. I too have planned my two weeks of meals as a menu, but I am scared I might not be able to stick to it. If I could stick to a diet I would not be going down this route as with everyone else LOL.
I am waiting a call back from the dietician to see if I can try the milk diet instead as I know if I can't have food then I won't overeat. I have practised the diet but I need that back up plan as I cannot afford to have a large liver LOL

Throw the nibbles away before you do get tempted

Good luck, just think of the reward and you'll do great

I too thought about asking my provider if i could do the milk diet as i dont want to eat the wrong thing but if i keep my meals simple then like measured amount of chicken with half jacket potatoe then surely i cant go wrong...hopefully!!!

My hubby and kids are eating there way through the nibbles slowly, i cant stop my boys having treats so will always have that temptation in my fridge, but since this i will deffo be giving them measured ammounts as i dont want them ending up like me.

It will affect everyone in your family for the better. I used to go 2-3 times a week to pizza/McD's etc etc, now, once a month if even that do we get takeaways. All the family eat healthy now

[dottychic]

Good luck hun, I was really excited when I started the milk diet as I knew it was a countdown to surgery XX

 

[chinsaway]

oops..messed up my last reply..hope i do better this time.. i too start my pre op diet today and will be on the table in two weeks time ( well, hopefully i'll have had my op by this time in the day]..im doing the milk diet as i love milk and find this easier than a very low fat/carb diet as you dont think so much about food, although i do sneek the odd piece of dry toast in when gagging for something to chew. good luck everyone and i look forward to reading your stories in two weeks..anyone having it done in luton on 10th march? carolx

Fair play to you! I am on the milk diet, which feels a it extreme but I know all I can eat is 2 yoghurts so v little planning. I'll probably be crawling up the walls though by Day 5. But like you hoepfuly my head is in the right place

 

[ldavidson84]

Good luck on your milk diet, sometimes i think i would prefer the milk diet so i would know i wasnt making any mistakes in food choices.

Yesterdays menu was:

Breakkie: Porridge with 200 ml ss milk with banana chopped in it.

Lunch: 1 toast with 3 slices lean bacon and 5 tablespoons of baked beans

Dinner: 5oz of cod :yuk: with mushypeas and a bit of mint sauce

Cant say i would have the cod again :yuk: :yuk: :yuk:
