Hi! My surgery date is September 9th. I'm so happy to be a part of one of these threads now! I'd love to have some surgery buddies too. [emoji3]

WOOOO, happy surgery day, good luck!

Your hubby was totally right, you look like a babe in that swimsuit!

You're absolutely gorgeous and you've worked so hard. Just keep telling yourself that in the mirror each day, your mind needs to be nicer to you. [emoji4]

Congratulations, self payer here too! I had my surgery about two weeks ago, time flies right by.

Make sure to take plenty of before pictures, weigh yourself, and try to measure everything. I'm down about 22 pounds and I can actually see the results at this point. [emoji4]

I'm so excited for you!

How many meals a day are you eating? I was meant to eat a max 1/2 cup six times a day, initally depending on what I was eating I couldn't eat half a cup and certainly couldn't do six times a day along with trying to get Water in

Same here! I'm trying for at least 3 times a day + a Protein Drink but even with that, I'm so scared I'm going to overdo it. I've experienced something similar to dumping syndrome twice now (I believe from drinking too much Water too quickly), so I think I'm being overly cautious. Plus, I still can't get over the fact that I'm never hungry, it blows my mind!

I really appreciate your comment, makes me feel a whole lot better!

I'm currently in the puree stage and about 2.5 weeks post op. Can I ask how often you guys at the same stage are eating?

When I eat, I feel full after about 1oz and assume that's my body's way of telling me to stop. I feel like I'm waaaay undereating though.
