Hang in there!! It does get better as time goes by, I promise.

Maybe writing everything down would help you to see that you are doing everything your program tells you to do.

I had the same feeling right after surgery. You are probably like me and have tried every diet and weight loss program out there and it's never worked long term. That scared me into thinking that this was going to be another weight Loss attempt that doesn't work. But work through those feelings. Realize that you are in charge of what when and how you eat. You now have an awesome tool that can help you stay on track when you may feel like derailing your efforts. Believe in yourself and try to make the right choices. If you make a Mistake, all isn't lost. Acknowledge it, try to learn from it and move on. 

Like Laura said, write down or journal your food and try to work on getting the protein and vitamins you need.  The rest will come together in time. Good luck!! :-)
