Feeling down

[hlmauera]

I have food issues and this means I also have weight issues although perhaps not the way I'd expect.

I tend to eat a higher protein diet. I have a dairy restriction but I only seem to react to cow's milk and can process goat and sheep's milk in limited quantities. But I had to cut out many of my favorite treats- ice cream, cheese cake, baked goods.

I have IBS and do not process green leafy vegetables and whole grains cause problems.

I have GERD and they tell me I should not have chocolate, citrus, or spicy food.

Now I'm scheduled for a cholesistectomy and they are telling me I need a really low fat diet for a few months thereafter.

So what, exactly, am I supposed to eat? Meat and cheese are out. Maybe clear broth? Maybe I'll finally lose weight, but I doubt it.

I'm so frustrated I'm crying.

Yah, that sounds really frustrating. It sounds like you are mostly down to things like carrot, beans or nuts, and non citrus fruits.

So sorry.
