Ughhh ate too much today I just know it...

Ughhh okay so today has not been my best day... I don't know WTF is wrong with me I know I'm not actually hungry...

Quick backstory - Open RNY 03/2002 - revision via Endoscopic Soft Tissue Re-approximation to cinch stoma/pouch 02/09/16. I have been doing spot on fantastic the last 3 weeks and its like I lost my mind today. I'm on a soft modified diet meaning I should be introducing more solid foods as my pouch can manage it but I'm pretty scared to so I'm still eating mainly soft foods...

Breakfast - 10oz chocolate Caramel Protein Shake (33g protein) with FF lactose free milk

Snack - 1 Hershey dark chocolate sugar free miniature

Bottle of Water 16.9oz

lunch - Ricotta Bake Mexican style (19g protein)

Bottle of water 16.9oz

Snack - Oikos triple zero banana cream Greek yogurt (15g protein)

ANOTHER snack and I don't know why but I inhaled a Pure Protein Bar (20g protein)

I have dinner prepped its a 1/3c portion of blended "Shepard's pie" kind of - just the beef, gravy & edamame (whirled in the blender a little) that I'll cover with cheese instead of mashed potatoes (26g protein).

If I eat the dinner I'm sitting @ 1,063 calories 113g Protein, 75 carbs 37 fat & 27 sugar.

You'd think with all this protein I'd be stuffed - maybe I shouldn't have dinner and just drink a ton of water? Any advice?

I guess you need to ask yourself are you hungry? Really?

Or are you simply falling into old behaviors. Trust me, I have to do this every single day many times a day.

Your carbs are quite high given you just had surgery and are in the weight loss phase.

As far as eating dinner, you should not skip meals but maybe starting tomorrow focus on reducing Snacks or choosing a snack that will stick with you longer. sugar free chocolate is not a good option. It won't kill you but there are choices that will keep you fuller longer.

I had to stop eating yogurt because for me it is a slider food and I am hungry again pretty quickly. I will usually snack on cottage cheese or chicken salad or lunch meat and cheese. Those tend to stay with me longer.

Also I noticed that Protein bars that have Peanut Butter in them stay with me for a very long time.

I think i just got bored and didn't think then I was putting everything in myfitness pal & freaked out.

I had dinner and will drink Water the rest of the night. Thanks for letting me vent/freakout...

I am 16 1/2 months post-op and don't eat that much in a day. I agree with the advice already given, ask yourself if you are really hungry or if it is stress or head hunger. Good for you for identifying that it is a problem and hopefully you will be able to grow from it!

Don't beat yourself up, it happens. You know that you ate way to much, so don't let it happen again. Along with the advice given, I noticed that you only had 43.8 ounces of Fluid. That is of course way low on any given day, but when you ask yourself if you are truly hungry and the answer is yes, drink some Water.
