I never reached my "goal" weight (that according to the charts). I lost 150 (but not at goal) then regained about 35 pounds and I know it's my own fault -- I graze on water-soluble treats (like potato chips an pretzels) and never had a dumping episode so can eat sweets 'til the cows come home! So the trick for me is to follow the recommended after-surgery diet in the long run to lose the excess! (I had my surgery in 2006 and for the first 18 months lost the 150. Then slowly regained!)

Your story sounds very similar to mine. I was really lucky and happened to
stumble across a web site about Overeaters Anonymous. I had never heard of
such a thing. It peaked my interest. For me the surgery just wasn't quite
the entire answer. I found the missing piece of the puzzle in OA. I was
shocked when I realized I have an eating disorder. Totally explained the
struggle I have had with weight for my entire life. I had heard of anorexia,
bulimia but never compulsive over eating. They are all the same disease. Why
on earth not one medical expert, diet center, etc ever mentioned this to me
I will never understand. Such a huge weight has been lifted from my
shoulders. I am doing great now with my weight. I will never have to diet or
do any drastic crazy weight loss related thing ever again. I wish I would
have found this information out before I had WLS. I didn't need it. Just
needed help with my eating disorder. So frustrating. Now I have given myself
a life full of dealing with severe anemia. This has been no picnic. I am
glad you are able to control your food consumption Lynda. YOU ARE SO LUCKY!
For me it never worked long term. The food alwasy won eventually. I am
powerless to compulsive overeating. Makes such sense now. Why else did I
ever weight 300 pounds and have a surgery if this was something I could
control. I wish you luck Lynda.
Hugs,
Tina

I actually surpassed my 'goal' I wanted to lose 100 pounds and lost120.But
since then, I have gained back 30 and lost 4. I am also a grazer and sweet
eater. I get queezy and a pain in my tummy, but not enough to deter the addict
in me.
