Congrats on making this decision...it’s a huge one. I had my sleeve surgery this past Monday 4/22. The worst part so far is the incision pain. Everyone talks about the gas they pump into you hurting, and it does initially. Just walk, walk, walk! I had a great nurse on the night shift that had me up doing laps around the nursing station every 3 hours. Luckily I’ve had no nausea. Everyone is different...just be prepared mentally for any or all of the things you could experience. The incision pain is something I was not prepared for. I’ve been sleeping up in a chair the last 3 nights...with a pregnancy pillow my sister in law gave me. It has been a lifesaver! I don’t have any regrets...just keeping my mind on the end game when I get frustrated with the pain. Oh, I’m not hungry either. My mom is taking care of me and has ate everything from pizza to Chick-fil-a and I haven’t even wanted to eat. Keeping clear Protein Water down, I’ve had a sugar free popsicle and a little chicken broth. Best of luck to you!

I don't regret an of it. The recovery after surgery was easy and I was back on normal food after a month. Because I don't cheat on an everyday basis, I can still occasionally have my favourite food and drink - but hardly any and hardly ever.

I eat a balanced diet in very small portions 6 or 7 times a day and I have alcohol only on special occasions. Best of all, I don't feel hungry.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery. Read through the many post on this site. WLS is work. This is not easy.

Absolutely no regrets. My taste buds changed after surgery. I enjoy quality food over crappy food. I make healthy versions of my favorites. After goal, I have a drink now and then.

Made me some homemade Tapioca pudding, 1% milk, Stevia sweetened with real vanilla. And I think I'll stir in Protein Powder each serving, left it out of the main bowl, if I know Tomkitten he'll sneak a little out for himself. I now weigh close to 30 pounds than him, he's muttering about talking to Dr Needleman about surgery for himself. And if so, he would probably be a good VSG candidate. But that's between the 2 of them, I wouldn't like pressured, so it's got to be HIS DECISION not mine!

My biggest regret is rather silly. I regret that I didn't have this surgery a few years ago when my wife and I had our last baby. I was obese when I was pregnant and due to the way I carried my weight no one ever knew I was pregnant. I always wanted to be one of those tiny mommies with the huge bellies that they proudly show it off with beautiful maternity clothes. We're doing with babies now so it was never meant to be.

No regrets, Nada, None! I've always wanted to be a runner. I couldn't before due to hip/knee pain. I can now run a slow mile without stopping. It ain't pretty, but I can do it!🤣

And more power to you! I am thrilled for you, I now don't waddle anymore so maybe I can increase my walking speed without getting winded!
