ncw0813 4 Posted May 10, 2016 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.

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted May 10, 2016 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 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).

KindaFamiliar 3,867 Posted May 10, 2016 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KristenLe 5,979 Posted May 10, 2016 @@ncw0813 It doesn't sound like you did anything wrong to feel guilty about. Measure your food and stick with Protein. You'll feel less hangry with some protein. Stay strong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
