its a scary thought, one that has kept me off desserts since surgery 12/31/07. my hope,dream,wish is that i develop good eating and exercise habits for the rest of my life and based on these new ways that i keep the weight off. the surgery made my stomach small and helped with my appetite, 1 year out and i have a great appetite and am doing my best to control my eating by having no junk food in my house. be strong, keep old pictures of yourself before wls on the fridge, inside a cabinet that remind you the snacking isnt worth going back to my former weight. be strong, good luck
