I can eat abit better then before I'm scared I stretching my stomach back to before and gaining all my weight back

Ps I'm started to pick on junk food

You just answered your own question. Stop eating the junk food. High calorie crap is all it is.

Almost 7 months out, and I have nothing in my house to tempt me, no bread, pasta, sweets. I will not go to a fast food place. If it isn't around me I can cope. Make sure you don't bring stuff into your house. Eat before you leave home, and eat well before you go grocery shopping. Good luck. Honestly we all know we can easily go back to eating bad food, but we have been through too much to get healthy. I love the new me way better than a taco!!!!!

You can eat junk food if you want to or you could say "No, its not healthy, that's why I am taking this journey. It's for life and I don't want to screw it up". Think about what you can do to fill the void so you don't eat - walk? knit? read? take a bath? sew? Whatever works for you. Just say to yourself "Are the consequences of me eating this really worth it?" If the answer is Yes, then eat it. If the answer is No, then don't eat it.

Check out the veterans forum - geared for people at least a year out. Lots of us working through maintenance issues... including for some people a bit of regain.

I hit the like button on your post by mistake. I hope you make a decision for your health sake to get off that junk train. You know you are sacrificing your health, and you don't need us to tell you that. I hope you love yourself enough to go back on the food plan, eating wonderful healthy food that tastes good. It makes me very sad for you and I wish I could sit down with you and say, how can I help you? Em, I am almost 68, and I want you to have a healthier life than I have ended up with, with no HBP, no diabetes, no asthma, no joint replacement, no heart problems. Good luck. I wish you a change of heart and a better life. Linda

I think high quality nutrition is even more important post op. You can get serious deficiencies! I encourage you to focus on good health more than just the scale. Good luck!
