1 pointyou'll hit stalls every once in awhile throughout your journey. They're a normal part of weight loss. They usually last 1-3 weeks. Just stick to your plan, and they'll eventually break. And 39 lbs in 53 days sounds pretty normal. I think that's more than I lost the first 53 days.

Hit a Stall 8 weeks out
JessicaLY reacted to Katiebal_Lecter for a post in a topic
Stalls definitely suck. I had RNY on 12/17/2020 and lost 16 pounds in the first two weeks, then NOTHING for over a month. My weight has finally started moving again. I’ve lost 22 pounds and am 64 days post op, so when I read you’re discouraged that you’ve lost more weight in less time, it’s kind of a struggle in keeping perspective. We all want to lose weight fast, but this is one of those times we need patience. Good luck with your journey. -

1 pointdumping 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.

Protein supplement struggle

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. 😊 -

Trash Article- Venting.

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.
