My operation has now been cancelled due to the hospital needing beds incase of covid. So I'm now off the preop diet and scared to go back to my normal diet ! Thanks for all your help anyway

Hello , just found this site and wanted to say hi . Is there many on here from the UK ? Any area of the forum I should be in ? I'm due to have surgery on 27th October ( fingers crossed ) by the NHS. I'm on the liver shrinkage diet now and wondered if I'm only getting 500 to 600 cal a day, would that be an issue ? My nurse advised a 600 cal diet but when the booklet came it said 800 and online it seems to be more 800 and over Kind regards Hayley x

That's good to hear , thank you for replying

Thank you . The nurse advised 3 pints of skimmed milk and unlimited jelly , suger free drinks ( this was because she had to start me on the diet as the op date was only 14 days away when she found out I was having it ). She then sent the booklets ,When the booklet came it has food options so I've reduced the milk and incorporated grilled chicken . I have been monitoring the intake on my fitness pall to ensure I'm matching the quantities advised in the book but I'm concerned my cal is to low but seems ok with what you've just said so I'll stop worrying as much

Thanks for the info , it was all a bit rushed as I've been on the waiting list but suddenly made priorty . My nurse didn't know I had a surgery date until I told her and at that point we were 14 days away ! So she gave advise over the phone and then sent out the booklets .

Hi thank you for the reply , I'm finding it easy enough to follow but was concerned that having under the amount of cal it suggests would pose a different problem to having too many Thanks again
