Started the dreaded milk diet today..........

[Glenville]

Sorry to hear they are making you jump through so many hoops. I am sure you are going to do it without to much problem.

And when people say this is the easy way to weight loss you will have a list of reasons why it isn't...

Well 4th day today and I just have to keep the end goal in sight as this is tough.
Bonita the hospital have a Sanatogen Gold A-Z Vit built into the diet so dont worry lol, but thanks for caring.
I spoke to soonslimsue on Sat and that helped too as Sue is also enduring at the moment.
I am chewing my chuggie as we speak but its not something I really enjoy as it gives me wind lol.
I am struggling to get all the fluids in I try hard but I am honestly not hungry and find it hard to have it all, havent managed it yet.
Also felt a bit queasy last night between milk jelly and oxo, and a bit headachey this am but that has passed, lots of water.
Some smells make me 'want' from time to time but I know I dont need, so battle on.
So guys your support is important as it is flippin hard and Iknow I would be much more enthusiastic if I wasnt on it so long, but ce la vie, just have to get on with it.
Thanks for all your kind words

Good luck on your pre-op diet....It might be tough but that will only make the post op diet all the more delicious with the added bonus of losing pounds.

(((hugs)))

Good luck on the diet. I know another person from L&D who had to do this diet for 6 weeks but she shed some fantastic weight.

Stupid question time, but please don't shoot me

I notice that some (but not all) of the milk diets I have read allow you to have some sugar free drinks (nas squash or diet coke etc). Does this mean you could have something added to your milk?

I notice that Crusha do a nas milk shake syrup - thinking this could make the milk a bit more palatable - or am I being stupid?

love

[dreamofbeingslim]

I think some people do add crusha to their milk, but when I was on it, it was never mentioned.

 

[bexmoss86]

Whe I was on the milk pre op diet I added crusha to mine (make sure its NAS as the bottles look similar )

 

[Boblatina]

Thanks guys, it's useful to know.

love

HI YOU CAN ADD VANILLA ESCENCE, BUT I HAVE COFFEE IN MINE, WE'R ALLOWED TEA AND COFFEE.

1 SPOON COFFEE
SWEETNER TO TASTE
SMALL AMOUNT BOILING WATER
WHEN COLD ADD IT TO 1 CUP COLD MILK (STILL IN THE BOTTLE)
SHAKE AND SERVE

AND IT TASTES WONDERFUL

 

[fairyringuk]

Hi Sue well done on your 7lb loss hope you feel better today

Tillybob I dont like flavoured drinks shakes squash etc, so cannot do that myself, would make me sicker than I feel at times.
I dont know about the crusha as on our milk diet we cannot have anything with any fruit juice added, sucrose or sachirin so we have to be careful I found with the jellies alot of them had sucrose or fruit juice in so they were a no go
Thanks for your support

Well day 5 and am not hungry at all but my mouthfeels like the bottom of a bird cage, and I am burping and rumbling for england, scotland, ireland, and wales lol
Maybe I am starting to settle to it.
Your drinks sound good Sue but I dont drink coffee so cant do that either
Like sue I am not getting three pints a day in or 2 pints extra fluid and having to leave the jelly at present as is making me feel very sick.
However must keep going!!!!

I did alsorts to flavour my milk when on the pre-op diet for so darn long. One of my favourites was to warm the milk through with a couple of Carddamon pods then add some sweetners. Also did this with Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Coffee and Vanilla. I found that warm milk kept me fuller longer then cold milk.

On the other hand I also liked to freeze either straight milk or Vanilla flavoured milk into the lolly moulds and get it that way.

Occasionally I mixed my one yoghurt and the milk together.

 

[fairyringuk]

Some great ideas there Bonita, sadly not allowed yoghurt but might try the cinammon and cardomon see how I get on with that.
