I feel guilty for eating....



Recommended Posts

I am now officially 2 months post-op and I have lost 55 pounds. I am very happy, but now I am starting to feel guilty every time I eat. I'm at the point now where I can basically have anything, but every time I eat I feel so bad about myself. I don't know why....has anyone else experienced this?

It's old guilt. Like when we would eat an entire pizza pie in an hour and later sit in the recliner and feel bad for overeating. The same old "I wish I didn't eat that pizza!", "Why did I order it?"

It's the fear of slipping back into old habits.

Most log their food intake. It helps them be in control of their nutrition. Maybe you could give it try. MyFitnessPal is the most popular out there. Good luck and have faith in yourself and the gift you have been blessed with.

Was on the road today and stopped for a burger...had two bites of meat and felt guilty....it tasted gross!

      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.
