    Hi Marilyn!

    I had a band fitted October last year and I had to do the milk diet like you for 2.5 weeks! So I feel your pain but I promise after the first few days it gets easier! I'm not going to lie, it is tough and definately the toughest diet I've ever stuck to! You just have to keep your eyes on the prize!

    I wasn't allowed soup I had to have like a broth drink everyday, similar I guess!

    You will feel tired and I did aswell!

    Make sure you take multivitamin and mineral tablets, you will need these after op forever really so it's an investment!

    I also found the pre op diet quite binding so I added benefibre into my milk or water x
