Ok so I began my day wirh a few sips of Protein Drink. I swore I was just going to do liquids since i get so full quickly. By lunch time i felt hungray - at least thought I was. I ate my first mashed potatoes. It went pretty good but , then i was full. I instantly felt guilty for eating. Then when i got home I was like I guess ill eat. Just because ! I could only eat a few bites. I was full. I saved my dinner. Two hours later I thought I felt hungary so i finished what I started. Now im disgusted with myself! I feel so sick because of being so full. I keep messing up. I don't know why am I doing this ! Im so upset wirh myself.

I am confused. What phase are you on?

Why would you feel guilty for eating if you are hungry? We are actually supposed to eat in order to live and be healthy.

Mashed potatoes may not have been a great choice, especially if you are still on liquids, but self-hatred, disgust, and guilt are not helpful.

Do you have a counselor or therapist you can talk to about your feelings?

Just focus on getting in your Protein and fluids. If you feel like you must eat mashed potatoes, then try adding some Protein (unflavored Protein powder, chicken Soup Protein Powder, or even grated/melted cheese would add protein).

As I seem to do often, I'm gonna agree with @@Inner Surfer Girl again...

If you focus on your Protein and Water, the rest 'should' fall into place...

There are gonna be hiccups along the way..

We all had/have them...

Even me...

And I'm AWESOME!!!

So don't be too hard on yourself...

You'll get your head around stuff soon...

Let us know how you go...

      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.
