Hi I did the food based diet and I made home made veg soup and mushroom soup ate fish meat veg salad small jacket potato baked beans yogurts

This is only my opinion but i really think this should be the main pre-op diet as i feel it does set us up better nutritionally than the milk diet - the milk diet should only be used in execeptional standards i will be telling this to Mr Khan when is see him at the end of the month. Hope everything goes good for you xx

Hi Kath,

I didn't do the low fat/carb/calorie diet because I just didn't to want to deal with food. I did the cambridge diet instead, with Mr A's blessing of course. It suited me better not to mention that I had supplies of the stuff from an earlier time.

However, seeing as you have about 5 weeks to go, may I suggest you start eating along Slimming World's Red Day lines. More protein and veg and then gradually cut down portions as you head into the final 2 weeks before surgery. It will make the transition easier. If you've done slimming world you'll know what I mean. If not, check out the SW forum or buy a SW magazine. They usually have a 7 day sample menu for red & green days. I think slimming world's red days suit the low carb/fat diet Mr Ammori recommends.
There's no harm in starting on multi-vitamins at this stage too.

Hope that helps.

PS, is there no sample menu in the pre-op booklet?

yes clara i know slimming world diet and i think i might try that . the booklet gives a guide but its wat to do with the food it sugests thats wat i cant think to do . as i said i have a love/hate relasionship with food i think of things id like but wen it comes down to it i cant be botherd so its a sandwich ,toast or wat the others are having if theres anything left yes i know a very bad way to eat so after op wen i have to make the efort i will probably eating a lot better even if its only small amounts..........kath xx
