I just had my first glass of skim milk for my 3 week diet. I'm worried I won't be able to stay on it, and very jealous of everyone else on this board who doesn't have this strict of a pre-opt diet. I'm scheduled and approved for Feb. 19 I hope I can do this I'm so excited for this life change. Has anyone had to do the milk diet and what helped you get through it?

I didnt have a liquid pre op diet' date=' just a 1200 cal a day. Maybe because my BMI just met requirement...but I just wanted to say..please have NO FEAR of a liquid diet after surgery. It is easy. I never was a liquid dieter and that was my fear. But VERY EASY! And make sure u drink Water after..dehyrdration is huge and can be painful. Force urself to drink water[/quote']

I am worried about the BEFORE not the after! My bmi is 37....my doc requires preop no matter how low your bmi is or isn't

@Tstorm1070 do you have an option to use silk, or almond milk did you ever have lactose intolerance before? i was on Fusion liquid cat litter and had flying green diarrhea, good luck and hang in there

No they will not let me use skim....either 1 or 2% ( I normally drink skim). Never been lactose before but I never drank 5 cups a day either.

What is liquid cat litter? Sounds disgusting ha

@Tstorm1070 it is made by Fusion they make a ton of bariatric products. it is gross, never really dissolves sickening sweet and very expensive, i did have a nice small liver, so it did the job. but i would never do it again, i lost 25lbs in 10 days. felt like hell going into surgery. good luck.
