I went to my monthly support meeting yesterday and got "yelled" at.
They think I'm too rigged with tracking my food, and I'm not eating enough carbs. Not that I should overload with carbs, but I should have more in the morning, and continue to eat a lot less of them in the afternoon and evening.As for tracking my food, they think I can't continue like I do, and think at one point it'll be what makes me gain weight again. That I'm not on a diet, and that I should build a normal relationship with food.

I think the new set point will help keep things stable long-term, without having to worry about weighing things down to the gram.
But, at only 6 months post op, we aren't AT our new set point yet, and even if we are, we don't know it. It's too early to relax.
And, when I say "relax", I mean:
Pre-op: Pajamas
Weight loss phase: Tuxedo
Maintenance: Business casual

At this point in my life, I must have read at least a million weight loss success stories and they follow a general pattern:
1. A person made goal by religiously tracking their calorie intake.
2. A person got to their goal weight by tracking, life happened and they stopped tracking, and now they've regained weight (sometimes possibly gained more weight than the last time they started).
3. A person got to goal weight by tracking calorie intake, and they continue to maintain their weight by tracking their calorie intake.
Tracking seems to be an important theme here. Do what works for you.
