    I went to the doctor and he said if i didnt loose weight i would see my children grow up :( so hes referred me for weight loss surgery after many years of loosing going up, going back down.. complete yoyo. So i have to loose 5 % body weight to see the surgeon ... very very grateful of course but the milk diet really sucks :( not eaten for 6 days now x will be worth it and keeping it positive lol :) saving me lots of money aswell haha

    You've done very well, surely that kind of diet isn't suited to a diabetic tho sounds unsafe to me maybe they havent thought it threw properly, btw i know it prob doesn't make you feel any better but all mothers are embarassed to take there kids swimming, i was at a size 12, size isn't the issue now i'm a 14/16 and i still go during the quiet time.

    Hi quin twins xxi dont think it would be suitable for type 1 but its ok for type 2.. the milk contains alot of milk sugars so i have to carry on taking my medication. I had to monitor for a month before. Its not a very nice diet tho , i will have to do it again 2 weeks before op to shrink my liver to make surgery safe. Sorry hidden for taking over your diary lol xxx
