Why Do I Feel This Way?

I am just five weeks out from open RNY surgery. I have lost about 36 pounds...which I think is pretty good. I started at 295lbs and now weigh 259. Some days I feel very happy that I have lost so much, and other days I feel very depressed that I have not lost more than that. Anyway, my eating is what bothers me. I probably eat around 200-450 calories a day right now....and I am really satisfied with that amount of food. But, that is what my problem is. Whenever I feel "full" or content...I feel terribly guilty. I am not sure why. I feel like if I am NOT HUNGRY then I don't deserve to lose weight. When I feel satisfied and full I feel depressed that I am messing up this whole thing. I actually like feeling hungry because I feel like I am succeeding! Why am I like this and does anyone else ever feel this way? Any advice would be helpful. **thanks**
