Because the surgery helps people better manage a very strict diet program so they can actually sticks to it. Some people lose their hunger for months, making it much easier to be satisfied at 800 calories. Even when hunger returns, a smaller stomach helps with Portion Control.

Thanks all! It's a relief to know that it's likely "just" dehydration, but what a crummy time for it to strike! I totally agree about emptying and refilling a water bottle but this was a circumstance where our plane was late and we were literally jogging (in public!) to make the next one so it wasn't really feasible this time. 😕 I feel much much better today!

I had about 3 oz turkey, a couple of green Beans, a bite of mashed potatoes, and a tiny drizzle of gravy over all of it! Finished off with a bite of pumpkin pie. If I'm honest, it might have been two bites.😋
It's my first post-op Thanksgiving and I'm happy it wasn't as hard as I expected. My family decided to go out to eat this year since some people have moved away and there are only five of us now. I didn't get my money's worth at the buffet but it's worth not having to cook all day, wash all the dishes, and deal with the leftovers!
Hope everyone had a fantastic holiday if you celebrate!

The pre-op diet is really hard, especially for those who have a full liquid version! You're essentially putting your body through the start of the post-op phases, without the benefits that come from the surgery. If we were all able to stick to diets perfectly, none of us would be here. You made a mistake, you haven't failed. That said, do your best to stick to it the rest of the way, for your own safety and post-op success. Sometimes remembering that it's only temporary helps a lot.

Is the 6 oz an actual weight or is it a measurement, i.e., 3/4 of a cup? If weight, keep in mind that 6 oz of chicken takes up less room in your stomach than 6 oz of popcorn, for an extreme example.
As long as you're on track nutritionally, I wouldn't worry about being able to eat more than expected, because there's so much variation in surgical technique and individual anatomy. Just stop before you're stuffed to avoid stretching.

Stepped on the scale this morning and was under 300 pounds for the first time in almost twelve years… not gonna lie, I cried happy tears
Once I’m a bit more comfortably under, I’m going to schedule a DXA scan, since my ultimate goal is 15% body fat, and it’ll help to recalibrate where that number lies on the scale.
