Pre-op Diet.

[frazzledmomof2 0]

I have been told to do a 30 day liquid diet before surgery. I have gained wieght since my initial consult in November but that is because I waited before going any further and seriously started doing the classes this past April. I was told to do the liquid diet and try to lose as much weight as possible. Has anyone else had this same dilema? I can't imagine lasting a month doing this...maybe 2 weeks is possible but not a month.

Hi from UK.

I did 3 weeks on the milk diet, which consisted of 4 pints semi skimmed milk a day + 1 mug of a salty drink, like a stock cube. Also a multi Vitamin and mineral tablet. I managed very well, but did long for something with some texture. Am now 6 days post gastric band op, and am feeling on top of the world. The very best of luck.

Thanks Susanna...I know I'm being a big suck, and many others have gone through this exact same thing. It's just so hard escpecially when you have two young kids and a husband to feed daily. But I will survive!!!!!!!
