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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
