Feeling guilty after eating!



Recommended Posts

Every single time I eat I have these guilty feelings like every bite is going to harm me in every way now, crazy because before I would eat without a care but now it's just I feel so disgusted with eating any thing really unless it's completely healthy... Does anyone else have these feelings before surgery???

Guilt has its place... but if you're doing what your doctor instructed, stick to that and feel no guilt over any approved food. We're still allowed to enjoy life. If not, I would never have done this.

Just talked to my nutritionist Thur about this exact same thing so was glad to see u post this! It was helpful talking to her and also being able to whip out my app my fitness pal and actually show her exactly what i had been eating and get her input. I can say that was pretty helpful. She told me the goal is to make good choices from here on out but also to be able to live and eat normally also. It's all about done balance.

Yea I have to admit my choices have not been all good, I love to snack and especially that I quit smoking I can say my appetite has gotten a little bigger, but I am trying to work on it! I just hated that guilty feeling... I'm glad I'm not the only one wit these feelings so I can feel normal again!

I had that same talk with my nut.. I think mine stems from not wanting to regain the weight and the portion looks like sooo much! She said its all in my head and that it very common after this type if surgery to have those kinds of feelings

If I go out to a restaurant or stop at a fast food place which only consists of subway for me. I always feel guilty I feel like "why did I eat that" the truth is sometimes we can't cook or prepare something 100% healthy the key is if you are going to eat something you know is bad or you shouldn't then just work out a little harder the next time. Keep your body in balance. Don't feel guilty yes we have had surgeries to correct ourselves but you still need to live your life. Eating bad once in awhile will keep you sane just don't make bad habits and stay conscious of what you are doing.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
