So I will be 4 months out on Thursday.  I have never really been a stress eater.  Sometimes boredom eating would sneak up on me (pre op), but hasn't been a problem since surgery.

So on Friday I had to leave work early to go get my toddler (22 m

So if you are a dumper, how soon out did you know?  I am a little over 6 weeks out, and haven't purposely tried anything that would make me dump (obviously).  But I am just curious when you knew you were a "dumper".
