I'm having the same thoughts as you - in 2 weeks I'm coming off a TFR diet and moving onto real food without a gradual food introduction plan. I'll be honest with you I'm expecting to put on weight the week I do it - possibly as much as 7lb - the thing to remember is this ISN'T real fat - it's just water with your glyco what not stores filling back up (basically your carb stores) - that first week lose that you get on a TFR diet is your stores emptying and they have to fill back up sometime. People who do the return to meal maintenance programmes as subscribed by their particular diet programme don't get these big gains because the carbs are introduced very slowly and as their carb store is filling up again they are still losing fat so it balances out.
The really important thing is to go into this with your eyes open - you may well put on weight according to the scales - but if psycologically you can live with that and know that counting calories and exercise works and that once your body readjusts to the new routine you'll start losing again you'll be absolutely fine.
Best of luck - let me know how you get on
