Hi Just joined site hoping to offer and receive support. My husband is starting his pre op diet on 14/07/2010. He's to do the milk only one. Hoping this includes protein shakes, have to check with dietician tomorrow. Anyways good luck with yours and keep us posted.

Thanks Tracey did a little intro. Its actually my hubby whos getting op. When I joined and posted first time thought it was only those doing the surgery who could join and chat then had a bit of look around site and realised how silly I'd been. Didnt need to pretend to be him, to get or offer support. Sorry please forgive me for being such a stupid cow. I'm just going to get sheet he got to see exactly what it says. Sorry feel such a twit. Thanks

Sorry your starting tomorrow. My hubby's starting his day after. Good luck I'll be thinking about ya. Keep me posted on how your getting on. It will all be worth it.

 

[kay milburn]

His doesnt say anything about jelly or fruit. I had hoped that something like slimfast would be allowed cause they fill you up a bit. Today he's had everything he shouldn't probably do the same tomorrow. I think its going to make it harder come thursday but at the same time I think yes do cause this is the end of pigging out, it has to be healthy and he'll have to think and concentrate on what he eats from now on in.
