I'm coming up on my two year surgery anniversary and, yes, cravings come back. You can regain, but.....you just have to start good habits during the honeymoon period of your surgery, and follow through with them. I'm a food addict and I am daily fighting my "need" for food. But, it is manageable. I have maintained my weight, but do find that occasionally my old habits start creeping back into my life. I found there are some foods that I can't keep in the house: cheese crackers and Ritz crackers. I seem to graze on them. Just this morning, I took a big lick of carrot cake when I was packing my DH lunch. Now what was with that...old habit!!! You will do well, just remember that you can regain. Always keep that in your mind. Otherwise, enjoy your new life, health and activity. I'm ALIVE! More than I can say two years ago, and I don't ever want to go back there again and neither do you. There are more success stories on this site, and there are some that aren't so successful. Be vigilant, watch your labs, and listen to your surgeon and your NUT!
