Ok so I began my day wirh a few sips of Protein Drink. I swore I was just going to do liquids since i get so full quickly. By lunch time i felt hungray - at least thought I was. I ate my first mashed potatoes. It went pretty good but , then i was full. I instantly felt guilty for eating. Then when i got home I was like I guess ill eat. Just because ! I could only eat a few bites. I was full. I saved my dinner. Two hours later I thought I felt hungary so i finished what I started. Now im disgusted with myself! I feel so sick because of being so full. I keep messing up. I don't know why am I doing this ! Im so upset wirh myself.

I am confused. What phase are you on?

Why would you feel guilty for eating if you are hungry? We are actually supposed to eat in order to live and be healthy.

Mashed potatoes may not have been a great choice, especially if you are still on liquids, but self-hatred, disgust, and guilt are not helpful.

Do you have a counselor or therapist you can talk to about your feelings?

Just focus on getting in your Protein and fluids. If you feel like you must eat mashed potatoes, then try adding some Protein (unflavored Protein powder, chicken Soup Protein Powder, or even grated/melted cheese would add protein).

As I seem to do often, I'm gonna agree with @@Inner Surfer Girl again...

If you focus on your Protein and Water, the rest 'should' fall into place...

There are gonna be hiccups along the way..

We all had/have them...

Even me...

And I'm AWESOME!!!

So don't be too hard on yourself...

You'll get your head around stuff soon...

Let us know how you go...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
