Is there anyone out there who regrets getting the sleeve?

I was banded for 17 years (one revision 7 years in due to slippage). I got sleeved 7 1/2 weeks ago and so far I'm thrilled with the results. I'm being very cautious about what I reintroduce into my diet, though. I'm on 2 Protein shakes a day, cottage cheese or yogurt, some sort of Protein ( like shrimp) and a few bites of vegetables. I plan to stay away from bread, Pasta, and rice for as long as possible.

I'm also staying away from a favorite band-friendly staple: the flour tortilla!

I'm the same way punchcake????. Unfortunately, I'm back on a "diet" as opposed to eating less of the healthy foods I normally eat. I was put on medication to help with the hunger pangs and I have to admit it has helped a bit. I'm eating no more than 800 calories a day and all of those consist of protein- grilled chicken, shakes and cottage cheese. I'm hoping this will allow weight to come off so that I don't have to have a bypass as I'm really not wanting to do that.

Did you have a band prior to the sleeve, or was this your first experience with weight loss surgery?
