feel so guilty



Recommended Posts

Well I am not sure why I am feeling so guilty but I am, it was my daughters birthday party on sunday and I had some cake, then today I started off at 1pm with a wendys chili, dinner 5oz filet and some whole grain rice, 1 small pillsbury bis, then about 2 hours later had another slice of that evil cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Felt so bad eating that I went down stairs and walked on the treadmill at a 4.5 incline for 50 minutes, I was banded on june 3, 2011 and had a starting weight of 343 and I am currently at 268, I have 1.5 in my band that me and the doctor kind of flipped a coin on it because I have lost alot in a few months..............Just wondering who else feels guilty when they cheat!

If you make food or certain foods "bad" you will eventually binge on them. It's cake. Everything in MODERATION. It looks like you're doing great. Take a deep breath and realize you're okay. You're not going to gain all of your weight back from 2 pieces of cake. The all or nothing mindset will kill you in the long run.

I sometimes eat something that I know isn't the best, like cake! I too feel guilty, but I have to tell myself eating a small piece is ok every once and a while, otherwise I'd binge on it!

Good luck!!

They are not good foods and bad foods think of them as always and sometimes foods instead. So eat mainly always foods(protein , veg , etc)and have a little bit of the others sometimes!

Me! I felt guilty last night AND this morning. My son, who was in town, wanted to cook dinner for his dad and me. He fixed a wonderful dinner of enchilada and black Beans. I ate the whole enchilada AND the black Beans. That enchilada was so good, and after dinner I found out why - he used Heavy Cream in it along with cheese, chicken, etc. He also had a dessert for us - I ate one bite and told him I was full. I was - but it was partly because I had seen that heavy cream in the refrigerator. I SHOULD have cut it in half, but I did not. I ATE it all, and the band did not stop me from eating! I did not feel full because of the band. HELP!!!!

Then, this morning, as I was getting ready to leave for work, my husband reminded me that I had eaten the whole enchilada last night. RIGHT back to feeling guilty!

I did go to range of motion and Water walking exercise tonight, but it does not aleviate my guilt. AND, WHY didn't the band stop me from eating that much???

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
