Is the Paleo diet (Caveman diet) for me?

Hey guys i read about this in a new york times article and i am actually really interested in it! I had some questions and was hoping maybe those that are experienced could post some information that would help me. Let me give you some information and some questions first.

Age: 15
Gender: Male
Weight: 140
Exercise: Cross country (Averaging about 8-10 miles a day.), Biking ( about 14 miles a day). Then i do cross fit in the afternoons.

Currently i am out of my workouts because i have a surgery coming up for a hernia. So here come the questions, Should i start the dieting after or before my surgery (Allowing myself time to get the energy to do the sports first or should i jump in to the diet and the sports about same time). As a growing teenager is this diet not for me, Will in not meet the requirements that a daily growing boy needs? Lastly if or when i do start this diet do i instantly cut off all those foods i use to enjoy like cheese-its and ice cream or slowly ween myself off it? Thanks guys! I can post back for any questions you may have!
Just to add some things;
140lbs.

Also i don’t need to lose weight. What i am looking for is a diet that will give me a lot of power and thats what i am seeing from this diet. Please don’t try to convince me to be a vegan try’d it and i just felt a lack of power.
