kelly lynn 19 Posted November 27, 2014 I Dont usually post much but while I feel ridiculous b/c it's "just food" but this is my 1st week out and thanksgiving food is everywhere. Its killing me. I feel like I lost my best friend and seriously just keep having the "what did I do?" feeling. Not sure how to handle this emotion and nobody here understands. Please help...

Jolisue 112 Posted November 28, 2014 Hi' I'm dealing with it too. I'm cooking for everyone and am having a hard time not tasting. Hang in there. It's just one meal! It's just one day! And for today you will be fine. It's difficult so remember what your motivations were for surgery. I know we'll both be alright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janice1968 92 Posted November 28, 2014 If it helps I am 7 weeks out and I tried a little of everything now I am so miserable I can't sit down. Not that satisfied full wonderful feeling. This is painful! I would rather had not been able to eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelly lynn 19 Posted November 28, 2014 I hear you both... thank you for your comments. I feel calmer now and glad I didn't give in, but the thoughts continue. I guess it will come with time. I hope it gets easier! Good luck to both of you as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grateful_Love 114 Posted November 28, 2014 I'm still pre-op, and today I ate "normal." I've been dieting and watching portions and supplementing one meal with a shake each day, otherwise. But today I ate "normal" and I just felt so guilty. Not worth it. I keep having these dumb "food funerals." It's irritating because I KNOW better. But try telling my willpower that when it's faced with stuffing and gravy. If it makes you feel any better at all, I'm grieving my food-friend already and I haven't even had surgery yet. And my husband is going through ore-op, too and it's like a cake walk to him. Even more frustrating! Good luck everyone! We will get through this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
