    Hi Kim, I am 2 1/2 years out from the surgery and have lost all the weight I needed - I then undertook resistance training to tighten up the loose skin. My husband now says I have the body of a 19 year old. It works and I still worry about gaining the weight back. I don't know if that fear ever really leaves my through processes. Years of dieting have damaged my perception of my body and will power. Diets have a failure rate of 97% and yet we use these as a measure of our self-control and self-worth when they are inherently flawed. That damage for most of us is life long. Slowly over time, my self-worth has improved as I continue to work on my health in the best way for me. You will find the path that works for you and work it. Will you be perfect and eat right at every meal? I doubt it. The goal is not to be perfect as just like diets that is unattainable. It was and still is the best thing I have done for myself. The hardest part is getting rid of the diet mentality as the sleeve is not a diet, yet we continue to compare it to diets because that is all we have known up to this point. Have faith in your ability to separate the two. It is hard and over time it gets easier. I actually lost too much weight and now I have to work at keeping my weight up. (I eat a chocolate bar a week and this helps - oh but it is so tough -LOL). Good luck and keep us posted. WE are all here for you.
