My pre op diet was the Milk diet, was horrible but I lost 12 pounds pre surgery. It consisted of skimmed milk and erm.. thats it. I drank a Latte for breakfast had a Slimfast shake for lunch and a Milky Coffee or Slimfast for dinner. 2 litrs of Water a day. But I had a very fatty liver and it needed to be reduced, I could of gone for the 800Cal low fat high protein diet but this was out for me as normal food would make me cheat, I chose my diet as I know normal food would of opened up the world of cheating. I also took Milk Thistle tablets to help prepare my liver. I hated it.. but when you lose a bit of weight doing it you know Surgery will be better and that weight is NEVER coming back on makes it seem ok for two weeks!!!!! Good luck x

I have had the explosive back end and now its stopped. My tummy now communicates in growls. Grrr she wants a drink. Grrrr rrrrrrrrr she wants food. Oh wow so you guys go to Mexico. I went via Cosmetic Bliss to Czeck Republic was fantastic, Surgeon was really nice and good reputation too, I think they do some US patients too. He said most don't get the hunger thing some do. So far since 8 days I haven't once thought "Oh im hungry" Well I had 1 weetabix cereal this morning ate about 2/3 in a lot of milk so was like not solid and was really nice and bound me up a bit. Protein shakes are awful I just can't drink them. I have a nice chicken casserole puréed up for the weekend, cant wait to eat something not liquid. Hope your journey is going well Kelly, minus the bum thing

Hello there, im new and WOW a plication forum!!! I am 8 days post op, im a UK'er but banded in the Czeck Republic. There are not many UK forums as its not a UK WLS as yet, we are always so behind, but wondered If you guys can help my regime im told to stick to is- First 10 days Liquid then 14 days of Purée, apple sauce baby food consistency, then 14 days of Mushy foods, like mash potato and soft foods that can be mashed with the back of a fork. I have had constantly weak bowels since surgery, I don't drink my clear soups too fast but regardless of slimfast or soup its outta me in the similar way it went in. Any ideas on changing maybe what I eat or on bowel movement. So many seem to have constipation and im other other way. I do take my Multi Vit with Minerals daily, Milk Thistle and Omerperozol still for reflux.
