Hello All you lovely CD'ers
I've got to say bye bye unfortunately. I was taken into hospital over the weekend and have been diagnosed with gallstones. I have been told that the diet kicked them up and that I have to radically alter my eating habits and stay on medication until my operation. I have to have a high fibre, extremely low fat diet with no dairy, red meat, sauces or oily fish but I have to actually eat these foods at least twice a day to keep my system working. Apparently gallstones are mainly caused by being overweight and then 'fasting' as they called it, ie suddenly eating a VLCD, it can cause a chemical imbalance in the gall bladder.
I feel extremely down and to be honest after the incredible pain i've been in, i dont want to eat anything ever again !!
I cant believe I have to give up now, I know I'll probably lose weight on the new regime but I feel lost without my shakes and soups !! I'm scared !:sigh:
