Hi all, I'm in the UK too and have just had my date through for Nov 28th, I've not had a nurse appointment about pre op diet so would be pleased to hear how you are all finding it and what you are advised to have. Good luck everyone!

My surgery is Oct. 27. I am getting nervous. Go to meet with surgeon on 24th. Been on liquid diet and have stalled. Hope she will still do my surgery.

Bristol! Did you sign up to FB?

[bubbles247 20]

Wow! Good luck with that. I'm doing shakes for Breakfast and lunch, then a meal for dinner. How have you been on the liquid only diet? Have you lost a lot of Water weight? :-)

Great you're so close! I'm having mine done in Cardiff, although I live in Swansea. Still haven't heard from the fb group, have you tried?

Doing well, only on day 3.

How was you on the 1st day post op?

Totally understand! I did a vlcd with shakes etc once and went to bed very early most nights. Can you do the same diet pre op? Did you get a very detailed/specific diet?

[bubbles247 20]

I got a booklet, for the pre op it had 3 options. 1st was food only, 2nd was shakes only, 3rd was both. I chose to do the 3rd option. But the evening meal has to be off the meal plan. Eg, fish with veg. No carbs at all.

Thanks, kind of looking forward to starting it as I'm going wild with food at the mo, like its my last meal every meal! Good luck for the next week and a half. Do you feel ok about the op? I'm anxious but just want to do it now I've made the decision.
