I'm in the uk, now we do a milk prediet is this the same? As the Protein drinks here I CANT stomach I've vomitied on them all !!

But I can do a clear/milk diet no probs.

Why Protein shakes ? My hospital have not mentioned it at all, op due in a few months

Hi vwlover,

Vwlover - I watched a UK based show on weight loss. The milk diet is not the same as the U.S. Liquid diet. The milk diet is just that - milk. I believe 4 quarts (or pints, I forget) per day. The U.S. Liquid diet varies per doctor - length varies as well as liquids. It usually requires a number of protein shakes per day, along with other fluids. Some might include a light, protein dense meal in the evenings, with a duration of 1 day up to 4 weeks. All depends on the surgeon.
