I felt regret on day 3, I cried to my husband that I was sorry I did this, cause I wanted to eat, he hugged me and gave me a kiss and ended up not eating lunch that day cause he felt sorry for me! But that feeling left as fast as it came and I'm almost 6 weeks post op and haven't looked back at all! I've lost 22 lbs and 23 1/2 inches, it's awesome to wake up every morning knowing your outfit you wore in the past is now almost too big! You will see, hang in there, you will get past this feeling of regret before you know it!

I'm in a stall and weigh too much as well. Trying to quit it but it's hard, you want to see the scales go down sooooo badly it's hard to quit...

The stalls are fairly normal and happen to everyone. No exceptions. It is the body adjusting to the weight loss by moving things around and rehydrating your muscles with Water to support stored glycogen. The stall will naturally take care of itself and usually be followed by a good drop on the scale. On my first stall I decided to try and break it by hiking on a pretty extreme, stair master type hike (2000 feet in 1 mile). While I did break my stall, I do not think it was because of the hike ( stall was already going on 3 weeks) and I ended up overdoing it. I spent the next week recovering and not being able to walk very well. And I had to cool it on even the normal exercises. And I got extremely dehydrated and thought I needed to go to the ER even before I finished the hike. And I have hiked all sorts of challenging hikes since a child. The point is that extreme measures for breaking a stall are not worth it.mbeing patient would have saved me the 1 week recovery time.
I don't really pay attention to the scales any longer and weigh in about once a week. I have found it much better to focus on how you feel, how clothes are fitting, getting adequate sleep, getting adequate rest, keeping stress low, being happy and more. Sure I was not always like this, but have found life and work much more enjoyable if you just let go and not stress about things that are out of my control.
I used to think exercising like a fanatic led to better results, but ultimately it did not because my diet was all wrong and it put stress on my body because I did it so often. I do still exercise, but I do it out of enjoyment and best of all, for me. One of the exercises I enjoy the most is walking my dog for 1+ hours. It is not real intense (some hills, a little brisk), but it helps me relax with nature, fresh air, listening to the birds, etc. And my dog loves it.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Lol, I'm guilty of licking cheese puffs when I was a week out, but, got over the craving and now I'm almost 6 weeks out , what I do snack on are Gerber Graduates cheese puffs! They are so low in calories and totally disenigrate in your mouth! My dr said they are perfect to snack on when craving carbs, just don't over do it! Hope this helps!

You know, I really thought this was a great place for advise, obviously, there are a lot of "perfect" post op people who don't require any advise! how dare you mock us! I myself seen a question someonr asked and answered it honestly and am getting laughed at? This obviously isn't the place for me. I'm really embarrassed for you.
