I am scared! I am starting to gain weight!!

Hi, I had my surgery almost a year ago on Oct. 26th 2001. I have lost 112lbs. I am getting real scared though...I don't get the stiffling fullness that I experienced for quite some time...I can't seem to keep away from tootsie rolls, bit o honey, and some hard candies like werthers. I am so scared because I put on 8 pounds this past week!! I am such a failure...I want that stiffling feeling I used to get when I would eat too much, or the sick feeling I would get when I would eat sweets..I can't seem to stay away from them....I am so scared that I am going to gain the weight back. Do you think maybe I have streatched my stomach because I dont' feel full like I once did? Does anyone else find themselves going back to old eating patterns? I don't know what to do as far as staying away from "bad" foods. In the beginning, the surgery helped me to stay away from them, now it almost seems as though I haven't had the surgery....HELP!!
