Failure Feeling

So I am 3 weeks post op and already have that looming feeling of failure due to the past two days. This puree diet i****ting me hard I never can find tasty things to eat. Most days I just do a 40g protein shake in the morning and 6-8oz of chilli that I blend. For the last two days for lunch I have eaten about 7oz of chicken salad from my job cafeteria which I know probably uses full fat mayo. Also yesterday instead of a shake I had a packet of thin grits that I mixed with water and a boiled egg white that I chewed till the right consistency No dinner on either day. I also had 4-5 fat free pringles (slider). I just feel like I have been overeating so much, and I am on a bad path....I had to weigh my self, No gain but No loss I know I shouldnt be so focused on weight loss during my third week but the weight loss from weeks 1 and 2 had me on such a high I hate to see it not happening so soon. Please tell me I am not the only one 

 Bandster Hell is rearing it's ugly head!  We've all been there!  I'll be honest, I didn't eat super healthy when I was in puree stage, because it's so limited.  But, I ate so little, that I still managed to lose weight.  Once I moved to solids, I got more focused on healthier choices, which also kept me less hungry.

Trust me, this will pass!  Keep drinking your water, and try to find some distractions.

Besides the chips can you point out to me what is bad there? You are only three weeks. The weight is not going to fall off. If you had big weeks already and if you lost a big number pre op you won't have a big first month. You are also still healing from surgery.

Give yourself a break! This is going to me quite a journey and you don't want to start out the gate beating yourself up. It accomplishes nothing! Forgive and move on!

 I know I am beating myself up, but like most WLS patients this is my last resort, I know thats how we all feel. This has to work. I just hate eating that full fat mayo,  I cant tell u how guilty I felt. Luckily I figured out that Heinz FF mayo dressing tastes delicious compared to hellmans so no more full fat for me. Thanks girls, I am so glad I have someone to talk to. My NON-WLS friends just dont get it....

 Call me crazy, but I'd rather have less full fat mayo than double the amount in FF!  Sometimes I substitute ripe mashed avocado for mayo.  It still is high in calories, but it's "good" fat, and it gives that nice, creamy texture of mayo.
