Almost surgery day!
You can definitely do this!
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much...the life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully. -- Seneca, On the Shortness of Life
I understand what you are thinking, as I went thru the same thought process. "I'm doing so well, couldn't I just do this on my own?" But then I had a stressful day, and I remembered how stress and many other factors that can interfere with the diet. I remembered how many times I lost 50 pounds only to gain it back and more.
The surgery really works. Before surgery I could never maintain my weight loss. Now I can. I am so glad I had the surgery and I suspect you will feel the same. Its a life-changer.
best wishes,
Carol
