Pre op diet

[Sungirl]

I start my pre op diet. Not looking forward to it. I'm doing the low fat/no carb chicken diet. I've made myself a menu, so that I can have a different chicken meal each day. Hopefully this will help make it less boring.

I did the low fat/low carb diet but was allowed lean meat OR fish OR chicken OR egg. I varied what I had each day, though I didn't do it for long...
If it helps, I found that putting salt and vinegar on salad made it more enjoyable than just salad without mayo.
Good luck.

I'm doing the same as Ceejay and I'm on day 9. Going okay although bizarrely yesterday was my most difficult day (perhaps getting a bit bored!). Also make sure you keep fluid intake up otherwise you may have problems with constipation like me!! TMI possibly but worth bearing in mind..Tracey xxx

Thanks. I wasn't offered the milk diet. I suppose its different depending where you have it done. x

Unfortunately, I don't like fish, so it's just chicken and egg for me!

Thanks for the salt & vinegar tip, I'll give it a go

Day 2 of my pre op diet, the food has been ok , but had a head ache by end of day one and then woke up with a head ache on day two. Apparently, they are meant to subside by day 3 or 4. Let's hope so, as not too pleasant

I suffered a terrible headache at the end of day 1, but this seemed to shift by the end of day 2. I think it's your body going through withdrawal from all the chemicals and additives found in regular food....

 

[Sungirl]

Yeah that makes sense really. Ta

I found with the milk diet I get the runs, anyone else find that?

Day 5 of my pre op diet, not too bad now, headaches gone. I've lost 6lbs so far! Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can use as a salad dressing, 0 cals. I've tried the vinegar suggestion but need a change now.
