I read here that we should follow our Dr.s requirements to the T and my doctor's office said no pre-surgery diet is necessary but don't gain weight... again, confused...gaining is what I do best!
I understand what they mean by the surgery being higher in risk if I gain too much and then there is the issue of the size of one's liver when you are having a Lap RNY and I will do whatever necessary to make it as easy and safe as possible.
I just don't want to "diet" at the moment... I feel like I am letting go of food one meal at a time...it's like quitting smoking, (10 years in March...woohoo!) it's the idea and anticipation of deprivation is the cause of most of my concern. Is this the wrong thing to do as long as I don't gain...well "too much"?
He said no pre-op diet and I want to "let go" of the thing in my life I hate the most and love to have...control of my food intake...in a slower way. I don't want to switch my obsessive tendencies from compulsively eating the food to compulsively controling my food, do I?
Thus the title.
Thanks for letting me air my worries here.
