Warped sense of food

So I am just about a week out and am on soft foods.  1/4 to 1/2 cup depending on consistency.  My meals average around 100 to 140 calories.  I am meeting my protein goals.  And I think in my head that's too many calories.  I know it isn't, but my head won't listen.  Anyone else go through this?

It is a confusing time.  You are not getting too many calories.  Just do your best.  Protein and fluid are what you need to concentrate on.  Calories really don't matter that much now.  Many of us stayed around 500 a day for the first four months or so.  Then increased as our appetite and pouch grew.  The nerves that control hunger have been cut, you probably have no way of feeling hunger or fullness now, so just measure. 

I'm almost a month out and I go through this every day. I just keep reminding myself that all I need to do is follow my surgeon's plan. It's prescription diet, not a suggestion and he knows better than me what my body needs right now.

Yeah, I think most people go thru it. Your first year is about reshaping your relationship with food... and I like what a PP said about putting some faith in your surgeon's plan over what's your concept of food & portion & calories. Lifestyle changes are hard but habit forms with intentionality & the first step!

Glad to know I am not the only one.  :). I am following my surgeons plan.  Just weird to wrap my head around I suppose.
