annettedimond 2 Posted May 14, 2013 Hi thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what to do on this site also but it's a handy place to meet others. In glad I didn't have a milk diet mine is varied food and easier or 4 slim fasts a day. Good luck annette x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bevy Boo 6 Posted May 15, 2013 Hi. It is strange how everyone seems to do different things before surgery. Reading the posts from people in America, there's all seems to be about Protein shakes! Having difficulty finding any sort of groups locally to join up with for advice etc. Bx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brandnewme 20 Posted May 15, 2013 Hello. I'm having op on 28th May. Day two if milk diet, doing ok just got bad headache all the time though! Good luck for your op on Monday. This is the first post I've made, so hope I'm doing it right! Hello, I'm from Birmingham but had my op in St Mary's Paddington. The diet I had was a low carb one for 2 weeks no more than 100g of carbs a day. I was so focused and managed to lose 15lbs in the 2 weeks. After the op I couldn't drink semi-skimmed milk let alone be able to fortify it in order to keep my Protein up. I still can't have egg, just turns Walter off! That's the name I've given my pouch LOL Good luck and can't wait for an update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bevy Boo 6 Posted May 15, 2013 Hello All. I live in Basingstoke which is near Reading. I'm having my op in Portsmouth at Queen Alexandra Hospital. Getting used to the milk diet, not able to work while on it though :-( wanted to work through it. As I'm only on day three I'm hoping it will get easier and be able to go back before my op.
