Woo Hoo!! Good luck and can't wait to follow your PS journey!

dumping isn't common with sleeve. It's more common with RNY, but supposedly only about 30% of RNY'ers dump. I never have and know several others who never have, either. And even if you're a "dumper", it can be prevented by limiting - or avoiding - sugar (some people dump on fat - so that can be limited as well - but we all should be limiting fat and sugar ANYWAY). nutritional deficiencies are rare as long as you keep on top of your vitamins.

I had never heard of this before so I looked up their website. They’re currently offering a free trial package of single servings. Just though I’d let anyone know who is wanting to try it out. You might have to pay shipping though, I didn’t check on that. 😊

I had my surgery when I was 24 and I am now 2 years out which makes me 26 and let me tell you I’m so happy I did it and wouldn’t change it for anything!!

In retrospect, I wish my doctor had said that when suggesting bariatric. I suppose they don’t want to overprescribe surgery, but it is important for physicians to understand the shame and guilt that comes with obesity and provide more context when recommending WLS.

In the past, through dozens of diets, I always kept my big, fat clothes just in case. Now, I believe that philosophy reflected admitting I would likely fail. I’m 6+ months post-op and am I’m donating too-big clothes as I get smaller. It’s a great feeling! I really want to keep to the mindset that this new way of life is not just a diet.
