Recepie ideas

I will be starting my pre op diet shortly and have been told that I can do either one but not to mix them. With the milk diet can you use slimfast??
Also on the low cal one can I make my own tomato based sauces flavoured with dried spices to have with the small piece of protein & carbs??

hi, and so glad you have your date x , i will be following the low cal pre op diet , as im type 2 ,,,,and im allowed herbs and spices, yippee,curry powder to!, and unlimited tomatoes,so il be making sauce with these,,also im allowed carrot and swede , so will used them as mash,but im not allowed parsnip or turnip! its really strange how it varies, so good luck hope your veg list is the same as mine ,but check your diet sheet from hospital just in case , x nearly there! x

On mine it says green salad or tomato. Really strange. I am not allowed any root vegetables apart from one small potato with dinner. I have cheated outragously though and had a bit of onion . I am told to have eggs but not been able to keep them down no matter how I cook them. But today I bought two bright yellow rubbery egg poacher thingumyjigs so might try poaching them. You know what? I have worked as a cook in my time but have never, ever managed to successfully poach an egg

Good luck with the pre-op diet. I personally think it is the very worst part of the whole thing. Can't wait to be on the losers bench and sipping tasty soups :jelous:

We were'nt allowed slimfast, too many carbs. I suggest you ask your team....
