feeling guilty

I know there's no way I can gain weight eating what I'm eating now, but I feel a little guilty since I ate a whole can of potted meat (I got the approval from my Dr. to eat this instead of baby food since the baby food was horrid!) when I should have only eaten half. I'm only 21 days out from surgery and I really have been totally compliant until now, but it was so good to actually eat something that had some flavor. I guess I just want someone to tell me I'm not blowing it. I know different doctors have different diet plans, but I have made such a mess of eating in my life that even the slightest backslide seems catastrophic.

Now stop that! You are doing just great! Baby steps darling! Baby steps. To err is human! You are human! You had this surgery for a reason! Reach out for your support like you are right now. *HUG* Please don't beat yourself up for one little kerflufal! (My word for screwing up!) At least you ate protein! Keep up the great work. You will find your way! No one is alike in their eating. You will find what is right for you! Take care. Take one day at a time Sunshine! Here when you need a friend. Eve

Hello TC --- I don't know how much a "whole can of potted meat" is. Did it make you feel miserable, did you throw-up? If not... then you are okay. Eat according to your Dr. schedule. Cut yourself some slack... we are afterall only human. I will tell you that it does take time before you lose your head hunger. At some point you will find the large meals that people consume to be AMAZING. Now... I can't believe I used to eat that MUCH food. Wow. No wonder I was SUPER-MORBIDLY OBESE! How could I not be? So... repeat after me... there is a learning curve, I AM learning, I am changing, I like ME! Sharon

I know this post is OLD, but I just wanted to comment: Today is my first day on pureeds and for breakfast I had cream of wheat and for my lunch I am having potted meat.  I've had two baby spoonfuls so far and I'm going to wait for another 10 minutes to see if I have any signs of it not agreeing with me. It's nice and salty and has 11g of protein!!!  I used to love this stuff as a kid and I am soooo glad I thought about it last week while putting together my shopping list.
