I need to know somethings before I commit to having surgery, HELP

I need to know somethings before I commit to having surgery, HELPI was in the grocery store yesterday, and for the first time, I experienced thoughts of not wanting to have the surgery. I looked at all the food and began reading labels and thought, WHAT WILL I BE ABLE TO EAT??? I actually teared up!!! <br><br> As of right now, I'm not fully informed of what my post op diet will be. I am an emotional eater and I am prepared to have a battle with this. I've never been a BIG eater, so I'm cool with the portion sizes, especially since my stomach will too. :) Here are my biggest concerns about the post op diet:<BR><BR> Sugar: Only 2grams of sugar per serving. Does this mean if FRESH FRUIT naturally contains more than 2 grams of sugar, I can't have it??? Like, how many grams of sugar does a GRAPE have? If more than 2 grams, will I NEVER be able to have a grape again for the rest of my life?? <BR><BR> Fat: Never ever ever again will I be able to have a piece of candy or a couple pieces of pop corn or a small slice of pizza or a cheesburger or fries? No mayo ever again? <BR><BR> It seems like a really bleak future. I NEED to have this operation, but I NEED to know what my post op diet will be like. Will I NEVER EVER again be able to have a drink of chocolate milk or a chocolate shake? Can I have just a little taste of these things? <BR><BR> If you answer me, thanks in advance, and could you please let me know if you were a chocolate lover and or an emotional eater? <BR> Also, NO POP EVER AGAIN?????? NEVER EVER EVER???? <BR> Thanks! :) <BR> Surgery scheduled December 3, 2002! Looking forward to it, but want to get this resolved in my mind, first. <BR><BR> (If BR with brackets shows up, it was just my attempt to enter some HTML code to allow my paragraphs to be spaced properly and not be one huge block of text.)
