Hi Jael!

Welcome back! It has to be tough to deal with misinformed people all the time. A friend of my dad had the same surgery and are right for the first 6 months. He was doing great. Then started adding back in more and more junk food and now he is just as big as he ever was. If you eat the way you did before, you will be the same size you were before. Stick to your guns and hang in there! You can do it!
