Are you allowed to

Please don't slam me for this question. I am not looking for a way around my surgery. I am pre-op (another month to go!)and I have made the commitment to changing my lifestyle to accomodate WLS. For the sake of my sanity, and stressing out for the next 25 years over weight regain, what would you say is the percentage of Compliancy/Non-compliancy that will still prevent you from regain. If I am compliant 75% of the time, is that good? Obviously we are all human and will always be MO, so mistakes will be made. The reason I am asking this is to be sure that I can make a complete change of lifestyle, but don't feel that I will be 100% compliant, and don't want to freak out when I mess up. From previous posters, I see that you "slip" from time to time. I definately feel that I can do 80/20. Again, I'm not asking for permission to slip, but what is the realistic goal that I can set for myself that I can live with? ALSO, Am I a grazer? I usually eat three meals with a small snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Does this constitute a grazer? I'm not really sure of the definition of the term. Thanks for all your help! You have all been tremendous and helped us pre-opers through a stressful time.
