PRE-OP HELP!

Hi All,

I keep coming across threads about the pre-op liquid diet but I am on a 1000kcal a day diet. I am from London so unsure as to whether this plays a part or not in the differences in diet just looking for any advice on tackling this diet?

I started on the 30th and so far I have lost about 1kg (2lbs), just completed my third day - almost (about to have some fruit). However I do feel I have been doing minor cheats, I have not eaten anything that is not on the list, I have been juice free and only drinking Water. However my bad points are: ketchup,mayonnaise, skin on chicken, teaspoon of sugar in tea and maybe adding a heaped tbsp of potato instead of minimally adding them.

Just need Any advice???

    Be careful with ketchup. My surgeon spent about 30 minutes in our pre-op session talking about the evils of high fructose corn syrup which is in EVERYTHING, including most ketchup.

Hi Bagpuss,

Very well done, it's only the beginning! I can only imagine how you're feeling it hasn't sunk in yet for me but you are hours away from it and that's amazing. Let me know how it goes and all the best!

This is a closed/secret group for everyone who is going to have bypass surgery in February 2016!

We would LOVE to have you join in wit us! Just go to Facebook and search my name LaNae Davis Petersen, send me a friend request. I can then send you an invite to secret page and then I'll remove you back off my friends list :)

It's meant to be a positive group who we can all be going through the same things at the same tim on this journey! The goals will be to provide support, bounce questions off each other, have somewhere safe to share on the days that aren't so great, and share our victories on this journey!

MOST importantly it's all confidential, unless you are in this group people can't see the group, who's in it or what the posts are.
