Re: shrinking liver

ty steve for the pm, will contact her on monday..
on my letter is says this:

For 2 weeks prior to your surgery it is recommended that you follow a more restricted diet.
This diet is for 14 days ONLY before surgery & should NOT be followed any other time, as it is too restrictive.You may find rapid weight loss on this diet, therefore it is important to drink as much as possible throughout the day..

Recommended Menu:

Breakfast = a small bowl of sugar free cereal with semi milk
or
1 weetabix
or
1 shredded wheat


Lunch
1 medium slice of bread or 2 crisp breads/or 1 egg size potato or 2 tablespoons of cooked pasta or rice
with
vegetables or salad 100g no fats/dressings
with
100g of meat or fish
or
cheese 50g
or
2 eggs boiled or poached


Dinner
same as lunch menu

Miscellaneous allowance per day
1/2 pint semi skimmed milk
2 portions of fruit
1 light yoghurt
water,tea,coffee,low cal squash allowed freely ( no more than 1 glass of fruit juice per day)

Thats my letter from Derby i got to follow...
i know lindsay is on maternity leave, so i will contact the others on monday, cos unless if anyone else is following the same pre-op diet then im worried as to why im not on liquids ??
