Girls, im on the cambridge diet (for those who dont no what it is. Its a very low calorie diet consiting of shakes or soups with 3/4 litres of water a day) and was wondering if this will affect my op? Doubt it will? Just want to double check! xx
i’d contact your pc huni just to check xx
Hi hun where did u get the shakes from an how much are they? Xx
Hey I have a mobile counciler, there £2 a shake and I have three a day, so about £42 a week? Im changing it next week to different flavoured shakes and hot soups as im on day 4 and lost 4lbs. So week 2 im going to have some hot stuff like soups and porridge xx
Wats a mobile counciler is that someone who comes to u to explain the plan an give u the shakes, do u have to pay them for doin that? That alot of money per week for shakes is it worth it du think xx
How you coping on it tictac? My hubby’s on it at the mo, he’s lost over a stone in just under 2weeks but is starving poor thing x
You dont have to pay them extra, they come to your house, explain everything to you, measure you, weigh you then give you your bits. Its worth every penny, day 4 and ive lost 4lbs, and even though its a small loss, you can really see it in me, they say if youve past day 3 without failing youll be fine and im day 4 and im not even hungry despite the fact mums just cooked a roast for three people! Haha! I want to lose a stone by the 4th of april which is my BA and I know with this diet im guarenteed it! The only thing im struggling with is the water intake, ive never been a lover of water, been doing two litres a day, need to be doing 3/4. Wow jlwalker your hubbys loss is brilliant! All my support to him!! x
Hi babe I’m in the Cambridge diet 2 ..& was b4 my op I advise u 2 to stop 3 days before are u on four shakes a day ?! Sole sourcing ?! Xx I stopped a few days b4 my op ..well had 3 shakes a day and a healthy meal at night and didn’t donut after as wanted all the vitamins to heal properly plus your on such strong meds Sony can’t xxx

Hi there,i had my BA last may and couldn’t start back on the cd untill the aug.xxx
No I piled it back on! Gym & slimming world all the way for me! 1 of my customers lost 4 stone n just turned to saggy skin, it put me rite off.but you’ve all done fab, it’s great wen it jus drops off isn’t it xxx
Just been told to stop the sole source and up my calories to at least 1200, the month before my op which is.now due to lack of energy, will take a longer time to recovering leaving more chance of an infection developing. After I have had it done, 1 month.later I can start again, all from my PC so yay I can eat haha! xxx
