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!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
