Great news not long now! I only did my pre-op diet for 1 week but it was low carb, low sugar, high protein and I lost 4kg in that week x

I did my pre op diet for 2 weeks (weight watchers soups and yoghurts).

At the moment I have just started 1 slim fast got breakfast, 1 for lunch, large salad with chicken ... .....Oh and vinegar for taste!!
And lots of drink ( of the non alcoholic of course)
I am of the opinion that I can change my diet each day as long as I don't go over 800 cal ??? Is this right?? :0))

I think each hospital is different in their requirements for a pre op diet, it's probably best to check with your hospital what they want you to do. Good luck though, I'm sure you'll manage to loose that weight easily no matter which diet you choose. I did 6 days of a milk diet (all I could manage first time around), 10 days of 1 weetabix for breakfast, cottage cheese and salad for lunch, meat and salad or veggies for tea and 1 fat free yogurt & 2 pieces of friut for snacks. Have been back on the milk diet for 5 days and have lost a total of 8kg.
