After surgery, ever eat food you shouldn’t?

Yes, all the time; unfortunately I have learned that I can, once again, eat an entire pint of ice cream in one sitting with no ill effects. However, most of the time, even if I do eat poorly, it's far less than I could eat before - I had to laugh at myself the other weekend when I ate a single cheeseburger and 5-6 French fries from Culver's and afterwards went "ugh, I feel like such a pig now!"

There's a guy in my support group who is a little over 8 years out, he had the sleeve. He said one night "Years after surgery we will eat foods we were told not to, but I don't do it every day. I have pizza once in a while. Now a eat once slice, before surgery I ate a large pie to myself. Now I order medium and it'll feed me a few days". It make sense and he's right there are days we will eat and it's okay. This guy is 8 years out and has had 20lbs max regain, currently 8lbs higher than his lowest weight. He says if the lbs start to creep up he goes back to the introducing hard foods stage and food logs again.
