I couldn't agree more with your post.. And perhaps I am one of the people you are referring to. I am 8 months out and I will admit to eating things that are less then ideal.

But you did make the comment "more then one meal" and I think that is the point. I am not perfect. Food is not perfect. In the grand scheme of WLS I do not believe its what I eat sometimes as it is more what I eat all the time. Weight loss is an ongoing process. Eating a cookie is not going to ruin the process. Eating cookies every day surely will.

I will say very strongly that in the early weeks and months you should follow your doctors plan completely. After that plan is over and you are left to your own devices, it is important to make wise decisions. Using your example, eating a cookie isn't necessarily a bad choice, but eating them all the time, everyday certainly is..
