I think this
I think we all have to struggle. I know that the further out I become, the harder it is to maintain. Some days are easier than other days. I fall back into old habits and feel terrible. When I follow the pouch rules, I feel great. I will be 2 years post-op in July and I can say that 2 years out is much harder than a year out or just months post-op. It gets harder with time and the weight does come back on. I see it with a lot of my friends and have experienced it myself. This is definately a tool and I know that I must continue to work my tool. If I don't pay attention, the pounds creep up on me. Pretty soon, a few pounds become 10 and then 10 become 20. It is very easy. I know that if I eat junk, the junk packs right back on in my trunk.
