Fear of eating too much

[SeriouslyChange 319]

Is it weird that I now have a deathly fear of eating TOO much? I am 6 weeks out, and I know that my calorie intake is not where it is suppose to be. But I can't imagine eating more. I hit enough Protein, and Water could be better, but I just can't eat more. If I go over my usual amount of calories, I feel like a failure.

Anyone feel the same way?

Hey. I am three weeks out and feel the same way. Im logging my eating on fitness pal and am scared to go above 600 calories.

I was not even counting calories at my six weeks post op. I knew I was not even coming close. It was hard to even get in the amount of Protein required. The dr said as long as everything is sugar free and you stay with in the carbs and sugar level you will be fine. They gave me all these numbers to look for when I purchase food. I still have a hard time getting 60 grams of protein I and I am at 41/2 mints post op. they told me do the best you can to get in as much protein as possible. They said when your body tells you stop no more it means it. Listen to that or you will get sick and it could very well lead to vomitting and you don't want that. So go slow with Water and food. You are still healing you had major surgery. Good luck

I'm seven weeks out and I too have become obsessed with keeping up with the numbers ...I eat no more than 600 calories a day 60-90 grams of Protein ...5 grams of far per meal 10 grams of sugar per meal and 10-15 carbs per meal. I excersise daily and try to burn at least 600 calories per workout. When I don't hit these numbers I do feel a little dissappointed, but I try not to beat myself up. Everyday is a new day. Lifestyle changes don't happen over night...it's a process that happens daily. So don't be discouraged ...just do better the next day
