I'm feeling guilty

[misscharlie]

I'm really annoyed with myself. I'm not even 2 weeks post op yet, but I've already given in to food temptations.

I'm suppose to be on 4 weeks liquids. Did everyone keep to this? I feel like i've failed and that I'm going to sabatage the whole of the bypass.

I went 3 weeks then tried slops

I am sure you haven't done any damage, what did you have.

I had to do four weeks too... it's hard ! It's longer than most people have to do on liquids so I'm sure you've done no damage !

 

[Tracey ( eyore)]

my hospital only ask you to do liquids for 11 days then slops .....so what did you have???

 

[PoppyCorn]

I only had to do 2 weeks of liquids only.

Remember not to beat yourself up about it - it's over now and you'll do better tomorrow!

If you're really worried, have a word with your bariatric team to reassure yourself but I shouldn't think you've done any harm.

I eat round the bit in the soups, but have eaten the bits(chewed). I also had 1 tablespoon of mash. I know it probs dont sound that much really, but I feel starving and I'm scared I'm going to ear everything and loads. Sorry but having a stupid moment x

walsalls regime of 4 weeks liquids is very strict IMO. Just remember though that you are healing so try not to push things too quickly hun. What did you eat?

 

[Sambucca]

we just cross posted. you wont have done any harm with mash. dont worry x

 

[dreamofbeingslim]

I don't think you will have done any damage with that Charlie some people are only on liquids for a couple of days and are eating mushy food before they come out of hospital.

Thanks everyone.

Today I think I've had my first experience of the emotional side. When awaiting surgery, I think alot of people think that its going to fix everything , when the emotional sides of eating needs to be addressed too. Its easily overlooked. When I opened the fridge to make teh kids lunch today I just wanted to eat the whole thing, fridge included

I think that is hard for everyone and it is difficult to get round it as it is a habit. I have struggled with the milk diet this last few days for that very reason but today I have been great. Let us know how it goes because I am sure I will be saying the same thing in a few weeks time.

I was on puree 24 hours after my op so can't see you would have done any harm with a bit of mashed potato x

i only have to be on liquids for 2 weeks hun so im sure you are doing ok, if your still feeling hungry why dont you eat little and often . maybe your going to long between meals before you eat. i find haveing some yogurt of custard helps with the hunger. x

I agree with the others, and just put it behind you now, we are not perfect otherwise we wouldnt be needing WLS.
