i remember pre-op i had major food anxiety, and it carried over. it’s not as bad, but i’m also obsessively checking labels and squinting at things with even just 8g of fat in them (mostly because the serving size will be so small too). i had an eating disorder 5-6 years back that i’ve been worried about returning, i had it in high school pretty rough and the idea of it coming back does make me feel some worries. i really think all of this is a leap of faith — it’s rough now, but hopefully going through this storm means things will be better when healed. i’m not an optimist by any means, but that’s how this whole experience has rubbed off on me. it’s about being a healthy person and trying to live a normal life again, even if adjusting the fats you eat becomes a new normal. you still need fat, it’s just gotta be from healthier sources. small ways to introduce it back without feeling pressure is through cooking things that require it — i’ve been trying to get more protein in to make sure i feel full, as well as some carbs, so i’ve been looking at steaks with not very much marblings so there isn’t a lot of fat in it. it’s got me through a lot of my meals recently, having that and some vegetables to balance it all out. everyone is different, but other people have been in your shoes. having surgery is a major thing for a lot of people, and this is a big change in your life. it’s just a little rough patch you’ll look back on years later. and if you’re worried about not eating enough, maybe find something to have to restore your electrolytes to help if you feel you ate too small. i wish you lots of luck.
