Hello all new to the board and getting banded in glasgow scotland on the 16th september. Starting the pre-op milk diet today for two weeks and am quaking in my boots!! 3 pints of milk, two low fat yogs and a stock cube only per day. So worried that I am going to fall flat on my face at the first hurdle. I have a very demanding job working in a acute medical ward 4 x 12.5 hours a week and am scared i won't be able to hack it. Anyone else about to embark on this type of pre-op diet that wants support and to support let me know.

Good luck to all you scrumptious september banders xxx

I am with you Plumplump; at 65, I am not sure that I want to sustain the restrictions, and post-op. I started the clear liquid diet, and bombed-out due to a tachacardia attack. weird. hope you are doing ok with proceeding per surgery.

Hey Plumpplump( Love the nickname LOL) I am on day 10 of my 21 say pre op diet and its the hardest thing Ive ever done. And I quit smoking 2 years ago! Let me tell ya I love to eat. I drink 6 carnation shakes a day and that is it. I am sooooo sick of the sweet drinks Yuk but Im doing it and you can too. Just think about each day as they come. Dont look at all 14 days its overwelming. Good luck

thanks folks and good luck to you all - now on milk diet day 2 arghhhhhhhhhhhh.......1st shift but it is going to be great.

Have a brilliant day xoxo
