Can i please ask for some advice, I am an insulin dependant diabetic and the pre op diet they have me on includes some carbs...a weetabix for Breakfast, 2 crisp breads at lunch and 3 tablespoons of rice at dinner...along side that I am having a small amount of lean meat, salad, and some vegetables. My surgery is next Tuesday.. Will this still shrink my liver enough? I am following what the hospital gave me. Many thanks X (I am still experiencing the had aches, irritability, feeling lethargic, and have had a hypo) Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I have been exactly the same Leah, and why are there advertisements everywhere all of a sudden for food?! Even food I don't like. Best of luck for the 9th! X Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hiya all, I'm new to here and just was wanting to make contact. I am insulin dependant diabetic with sever insulin resistance, I am 1 week away from rny surgery and on day 3 of the pre surgical prep. From what I have seen I don't really have much to moan about, as I am still able to eat actual food, but wondered..did anyone else have extreme cravings, headaches, insomnia, low mood, and agitation when doing the prep? Also did anyone feel just generally really unwell? It's only day 3 but it's kicking the hell out of me. I am able to have the following each day (which I know is more than most), but am worried that I am maybe eating a bit too much to shrink my liver, or that I am just getting it all wrong. The hospital have me the following diet: Breakfast - 1 weetabix Lunch- small portion of lean meat or fish, salad (no dressing), 2 crisp breads or a slice of bread Dinner- small portion of lean meat or fish, 3 small potatoes or 3 spoons of rice, vegetables 1/2 pint of skimmed milk per day (to be used in tea or coffee and my breakfast) A sugar free & fat free yoghurt No sauces no alcohol no fizzy drinks I had a hypo today I am currently 106kg, I weighed 122kg at the start of my journey 2 years ago. I have gone from a 44 inch trouser to a 34/36 inch. Am having the surgery for diabetes reasons not so much for weight loss. Thank you in advance for any replies xx Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow Claire it certainly sounds much harder for you than me! Best of luck for the 10th too...this time next week Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey thanks so much, yeah sorry am in the uk I forgot to convert the weight. I was quite shocked at the amount I could eat, the hospital gave me 3 different diet sheets, 1 was milk only, one for diabetic pill controlled, and finally the insulin dependant diabetic one I am doing. Am so glad to hear that your resistance is getting better and ur doing well after surgery. Am so excited/nervous about mine, but know it's the right thing to do x Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
