SLIMFAST!

[LOLAPIG]

My Surgeon reccomends, Slimfast. I cannot stand another day on Slimfast! I like the taste well enough but it does not agree with me at all, right through me, stomach unsettled, grumbly all the time! Got to get to the loo quick when I need, or... Trying milk diet today, see how I go. I may have to resort to eating protein, low fat/sugar, don't really want to though, as I'm afraid when I start I'll eat too much. Surgery at Dolan Park for Gastric Band, next Friday, 25/04/14... Excited, but LOADS of other emotions too...

contact your provider as they will be able to advise the best thing for you to follow. I had the same surgeon but the provider was the one that recommended a low fat and low carb diet, I actually followed the milk diet by choice. Speak to your provider

I much prefer Complan mixed with skimmed milk to Slimfast. SF is way too sweet.

I've got a tub of the Slimfast shake powder in banana but I don't like it much, won't buy any more. The ready mix shakes aren't much better, the latte one is vile.

Pick up with provider. I had my op with mr super at Dolan park and he put me on the milk diet. It can depend on your starting bmi as to which preop they ask you to follow. X

Yes, I was told by THG to follow the low fat/carb diet for a week, if possible two,but at consultation, surgeon recomended the Slimfast diet. I'm actually better on shake diets than eating 'real' foods. So decided to go for Slimfast, I've now changed to milk which seems better. Op, this coming Friday!

Ooh good luck honey I was banded at Dolan Park early December loved Sally she made me feel so much better about things....
I too went onto Complan not SF and also ended up putting on weight in the week leading upto the op as I was eating ridiculously big meals it was like I felt like each mealtime was the last supper. Xxx

I could well understand that, the big meal/last supper thing, that's why I'm chosing not to eat the 'Real' food. How are you doing now you're post op?

It's been quite a journey, was still eating silly food right after op and it's taken a few trips back and forth to get the amount of fil right in my band but I am sooo happy I had it done and I feel like I now have hit that sweet spot where it just don't feel hungry. I've lost 19lb since end of feb, just want to keep the weight loss up.
You will too get there and you won't look back can't wait to see your journey xx
