Lets face it.. we all where/are fat because.of our bad eating and habits. How "easy" is it postop to be bad... in the eating aspect of things???

The first few months, you really can't go wrong. However let the 5-6th month hit. Then it's really easy to go wrong. Those bad habits can easily creep up on you....

For the first 6 months or so VERY easy to stick to the diet, when eating too much - and too much is like ONE teaspoon too much - you get sick and want to vomit. At 6 months things settle down and you still find it pretty easy to follow the diet, after a year it seems another bump in capacity is typical and then it becomes a tad more difficult to be good. BUT, and that's a BIG but, it is nowhere near as hard pre-op. I remember being famished ALL the time and constantly eating, now I just eat a little too much and I am full. At going on two years I have to watch what I eat still but I do exercise a lot more and have not gained much back, I just bounce up and down a few pounds a few times.

Given the choice I'd rather be this way then the way I was pre-op.

And as usual YMMV.

LMAO!!!!

I find that I can eat anything that I want, but I have defiantly slowed down in weight loss. I just broke a three month stall and lost nine pounds this month so I am thrilled! You can have anything you want, but just don't go overboard.

I think we all thought something different haha or should I say hehehe

For me, at close to three years out, it can be very easy to slip back into old habits. I am a member of the "everything in moderation" philosophy, so fortunately, I don't run into too many problems. If I want something, I don't deny myself, that only leads to trouble for me. Fortunately, I can have those things I crave, but not go overboard on them because my sleeve is still there for me.
