NONE!!! I just wish I hadn't wasted my time getting the band and had the sleeve instead. The sleeve has been one of the best decisions of my life!

Regret 1: I didn't do it sooner, just like everyone else. I suffered alot when I was fat and I just keep thinking about how futile all of that suffering was. Feeling bad about myself, hating myself if I ate something "bad", feeling like an idiot because I would try and just couldn't lose the weight, feeling ilke I had no will power at all....but then I had my surgery and when my hunger went my will power came. I literally feel very little hunger and when I do it's not like it used to be (like my stomach telling me to eat an elephant, gurgle gurgle). I look at myself in the mirror now and feel happy so when I make choices about what i'm going to eat I say to myself "now do you really want that?" Not to say that I don't cheat now and then and eat what I have a taste for, I do which is the beauty of the sleeve, I just eat a whole hell of alot less of it than what I had in the past. I can eat just about anything and never feel like I'm on a diet....

Regret that I didn't do this in my early 20s or hell even my teens.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
