Since you lost the weight and stabilized your weight after two years, do you find that you can't eat "bad" things for fear of gaining the weight?

In moderation for sure. When I indulge in something sweet or starchy the scale goes up almost every time. Eat what i want?....and not gain weight 2 years post op. No I do not feel that way. I know I will have to eat salad, protein, and veggies FOREVER now. I know Dr. R says we don't have to count calories or worry about sugar free things anymore post op but I do worry and believe that 70 to 80% is going to be up to me in the end and more and more as time goes on. I eat something I normally don't and boom- up goes the scale. Which makes me understand what I have to do to maintain this weight. Thankfully I get full fast. But that's what I paid him to do, huh... LOL And yes...I'm scared to death and I know that comes from years of failing over and over. I will not let myself down...I can do this!

Yes it really is about us and our choices and what we decide to do! Great job Susy!
Susy,
I have to tell you that I love your site, and the other day, you inspired me to try a Green Tea Frappacino... YUM!!!!
I, too, am 2 years out... and though I continue to follow my plan... I do, at times, eat the wrong things... and just like you.. the scale will climb a notch or two. I've seen cases of people who have regained their weight, and I think deep down somewhere... I fear that. Although, in reality... I feel too skinny. I have resigned myself to the fact that weight is always going to be an issue.... too fat, too skinny... kinda in the middle... :) Maybe its me....
