If you want a salad with breaded chicken and Ranch. Have it. If you can tolerate it. The amount that you will able to eat won't make you fat again. You need to learn to eat in the real world. 99% of the people on here had the surgery not just because we made bad choices. I was always a healthy eater. But I just ate way too much health food. These days if I want fried chicken I have it. I can't eat a 1/2 of chicken like I use to so it kinds of balances life out.
I wouldn't indulge every day. But you have the rest of your life to think about. If you can not indulge for at least the first 6 months that would be great. Maybe set a goal for youself when you will allow yourself to have treats. The first 6 months are the critical time of losing weight. Use your tool to the best of it's ability as much as you can. But remember to love yourself and be kind to yourself.
