I had 4 weeks diet to do.
so week 1 I did the milk diet - lost 3.5kgs
and next week did the slimfast and lost NOTHING.
Now back on milk until my op on Saturday and have again lost 2kgs so far.

I have also heard from a couple of people that Slimfast is not the best of the meal replacements to use. Not exactly sure why.. but because I had the experience of not loosing on it, I now tend to believe it.

Good luck !

Well I lost exactly 10 lbs on Slimfasts using 4 x Slimfasts a day for 2 weeks.

I was originally supposed to be on the "food based" pre-op diet for 4 weeks but lost nothing doing that in the first two weeks, so in an act of desperation I switched to Slimfasts for the last two weeks.

Got me down from 21 st 3 lbs to 20 st 7 lbs (which was apparently enough to have shrunk my liver).


So, what works for one person may not work for another -- guess that's life !!

You are quite right there.. what is good for one is not always good for another. And we have to do what is best for each of us.

I hope that whatever one you choose is good for you xx

Hi

I only did the milk diet but did once try the slim fast diet a few years ago and lost nothing after taking it for 4 weeks, on the standard milk diet before my surgery I lost 6.5kg in a week. So I know which is better for weight loss, but wouldn't want to do the milk diet on a longer term basis, it's probably not that good nutritionally.

Thanx everyone. I know it's not really about the weight lose but the shrinking of your liver so I'll just need to carry on n hope for the best. My ops on Monday so nt alot I can do now. just hope my liver shrinks enuf. It would be the worst thing to go there get put under then wake up and not have it done. I suppose everybody had the fear tho. Xxx
