I want to hear from successful folks who are long term who have maintained

I am just over 6 months out and am only 13 lbs. from my personal goal. I have to say that I am very pleased and proud of myself, as I know I have done everything I should have to be successful. Now that I am 6 months, I am noticing I can hold a little more food in than previous to the 6 month mark. I am trying not to worry since I eat good things and have made life changes on what I eat and exercise. I also only eat until I am satisfied and not full. However, I have NEVER maintained my wieght before and can't help but feel I don't trust that I will. I worry that after 1 year, my stomach will appear to be the size it was before surgery and who's to say that I won't gain the weight back. Many do, or struggle with it. I am entering a new phase and am concerned. Tell me the truth about how hard it is, do you still feel the tool working for you? Do you have to work equally as hard or harder when the weight was coming off? If yes, is it comparable to before surgery? Thanks for your time and honesty.
