[QUOTE="SALTBRANCH2, post: 1535607, member: 33463"] Basically I had a lifetime of eating unhealthy and bad habits. Diets are nothing more than a patch or short term fix. Normally you will gain the weight back and then some once you go back to your old habits. Its the habits that really cause the weight gain. The surgery I had, the RNY is basically reboot if you will. The first year after surgery is the "honey moon" phase. There is really no way you cant lose weight. With the RNY I have to watch my sugar intake, for example a snickers bar will make me sick.
