its usually either the milk diet which is just milk and yogurt, or very low fat low carb diet and they go on for between 10 days and 4 weeks on average x

As in just milk and yogurt? I have been asked to do it for 3 weeks but she said we don't have to do the milk one because we would be on that texture after the op so people who didn't do milk and yogurt what did you have?, lol Xx

its very dependant on surgeon and are im on a 10 day liver diet which consists of clear soup no lumps or milk/milk protein allowed,sugar free jelly,black tea,bovril,water and no added sugar squash and once a day im allowed 1 small glass of pure pineapple juice...xx

the thought of dairy products and pineapple juice together make me feel sick lol

I will obviously be told when my time comes but its very interesting to hear how different each hospital/surgeon treats each op Xx

I had to have 4 pints of milk, a salty drink such as a stock cube or bovril, 2 pints of water, a sugar free jelly, and that was it! I did that for a month to lose 5% of my body weight to be allowed to see surgeon, then again for two weeks prior to surgery. The first few days are the worst, but I soon got used to it!

Its standard practice at Luton & Dunstable Hospital - they make everyone lose 5% of their body weight before you are allowed to meet your surgeon, no matter how large or small you are - it proves commitment I think, and also prepares you mentally for the idea of changing your diet habits forever.

wow this diet seems drastic in a way but it has to done for good reasons!

I found it made me so much more confident. I stuck to it like glue and that gave me the confidence to know that the bypass was the right thing for me. It also eliminated any worries I had about willpower etc after the op and made it hit home that I had an addiction, rather than just being greedy.
