long time VSGers
ok, so next month I will be out 4 years. I have been battling rebound weight of 10 - 15 lbs; but have nothing to blame on that but food choices and choices on how dealing with stressors.
Nevertheless; a lot of my restriction is dependant upon food choices. My "stressor-go-to-foods" are sliders and very little restriction on high calorie, fat, sugar foods. However, if I eat protein, at 4 years out it is the same as it was at 18 months out.
For points of reference; and tattling on my food choices of late: I can eat one regular size cheeseburger from McD's; or one bean burrito mi nus 1 inch from taco bell. I can eat 5 to 6 oz chicken, or meat of any kind. I can eat about 1 cup cottage cheese. But I can eat an entire sleeve of Girl Scout cookies with a small cup of milk (or 1.5 donuts with coffee). Anything that slurries in liquid is a slider and offers little to no restruction--darn ice cream. Old ways gives old results; forever journey.
My only real hunger I feel is head / emotional eating hunger. That being said once they are able to offer labotomies that fix the mind for WLS patients, I'll be first in line. lol
