[QUOTE="Salvia, post: 1303136, member: 278312"] Oh dear, [USER=137222]@Geminigirl[/USER], it sounds like your pre-surgery class hasn't got off to a very good start for you. Obviously, you can't chomp away on that many carbs long-term, as you know you'd be in trouble. It's a difficult one - 'do I / don't I follow the dietitian's advice'. I don't envy you having to decide. Perhaps - just one suggestion, there are probably lots of other options - as there are classes every fortnight, is it worth agreeing with the dietitian that you'll follow the instructions exactly for the first 2 weeks, so that you can then demonstrate factually to her that you haven't lost any weight (might even have gained) & that the diet sheet isn't right for you. Maybe then, it might be possible to reach a compromise whereby you can have 1800 calories per day (or whatever is agreed/right for you), made up of your own choice of things you know your body can cope with & will help you to reduce your weight. Only problem with this approach is that the dietitian is likely to say you didn't follow the diet properly - so it's your fault there's not loss! A catch-22 I think. Hope someone else comes along with a better offer ....... [/QUOTE]
