Milk diet anyone?



Recommended Posts

I have to be on this milk diet for 3 weeks. I want to know has anyone else needed to be on this diet as well?

Im worried I will fall off the wagon because a week into this diet, I am going to my high school reunion, and with the food, the alcohol, and the party scene, well, I think anyone would be worried...

Any suggestions, or advice for me?

What is the milk diet? I've never heard of it before. What does it entail?

It looks to me like this must be your pre-op diet. That's a bummer that the reunion coincides with the pre-op stuff. I'd check with your surgeon and see if he'll give you the all-clear to have that one day off. If not, then I would stick with what he's told you. If you can't handle being there and not straying from you pre-op diet, then I wouldn't go, if I were you.

But then again, I hated my last high school reunion. Hated it. I was fat and unhappy. None of my friends were there. We left early.

Good luck!

I have heard of the milk diet but I never heard of a doctor prescribing it. I can't help but wonder if you will lose all desire for milk after spending three weeks on nothing but milk. :0)

I would talk to your doctor as well about having a night off. Perhaps you can start a couple of days early to offset it.

I would like to know more about the milk diet too. I love milk but I don't drink alot of it since I try to only have Water.

The best advice is always to follow your doctors rules but I myself would probably have fun for the 1 night. But I guess I am not the best rule following bandster hehe

The milk diet goes as follows.. I am suppose to drink SKIM MILK 3 times a day, as much as I want, in 5 minutes. Then I can drink Water and crystal light throughout the day.

So, Im a little anxious about doing it, but I cant even eat vegetables either. They want me on a VERY LOW CALORIE DIET. They want me to lose a bunch of weight before the surgery, and to shrink my liver as well. Im just nervous about the reunion thats all with, with everyone drinking and eating.. it could be hell.. lol

Alcohol isn't going to be good for shrinking your liver, so don't do that!

Never heard of a milk diet though, I'd imagine a lot of poo'ing is involved!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
