DAY 1 of liver shrinking diet went ok:
Breakfast - 1 weetabix with milk
Lunch - 2oz turkey breast with green salad and 1 piece of bread, low fat yoghurt and apple
Dinner - Plain omlette but with bit of red onion and 2oz pasta - sounds awful but was actually very tasty!!
Also had lots of diet coke today - can have unlimited and making the most of it before op - certainly filled me up!
Feeling very positive and excited!

Well, day 3 yesterday:
Breakfast - weetabix
Lunch - 2 eggs on toast
Dinner - 2tbs rice mixed with 2oz chicken and chopped broccoli - very bland but filled me up!
Not sure if I am able to use spices - the diet is very strict and scared to have anything not mentioned on the list in case it affects the liver! Only 12 days to go so sure I can manage that with no salt/spices!!

Day 4!
Breakfast - weetabix and banana!!
Lunch - Brocolli Omlette - tasted better than it sounds!
Dinner - Stuffed red pepper (rice, pepper and cheese) - thrown together recipe but very tasty!! Plus and apple and low-fat yoghurt!
Plus lots and lots of diet coke!!
Headaches not as bad today but still missing my cups of tea - 2 a day is hard work!
Had a bit of a wobble this morning - "will I wake up from op" moment - but it soon passed with a talking to from Hubby and best friend!
Decided to tell the kids tonight - didnt feel right that close family and friends know about the operation and they didnt - they took it really well, although my 9 year did get excited when she thought I would come out of hospital on the 20th 10 stone lighter - bless!!

You're doing really well hun!
I've restarted my pre-op diet today, your menu's sound lovely - mine is 5 weeks (yes I'm doing 5 although my surgeon told me I had to do 4) of the slimfast diet only! But will be having lots of diet coke and pepsi to help me out.
