Hi ... I'm no expert, no medical training but as someone who has battled with my weight forever, and just learned to avoid unhealthy food (except on a small taster) and try to eat healthier food which you can make tasty if you try... I always thought plain salad was just for rabbits... so a little sauce like sweet pepper sauce ... and cut out butter and bread as much as possible ...

You can't go wrong ... a few nuts if you get hungry in between is good ... it doesn't have to be boring ... I have a low thyroid too ... so have to be extra carefull .. but loosing that 2 stone can only help ... just not on a drastic diet , they don't work ... everything in moderation my mum used to say ... that's the best way to loose weight ever ... good luck ... chrissie x

Hi Kayk

sorry to hear of your recent diagnosis... I too am a Breast cancer lady.

i would suggest speaking with your consultant for advice about you wanting to loose weight prior to yr op. The type of op u have and/or other factors could impact on the advice u are given.

I too could do with loosing weight but in prep for my op I was asked to try to maintain my weight and not loose any.

So... best to ask just in case :-)

take care me dear x
