Okay, this is a way late response but I don't get to this board often.
First, go for your checkup. Your doctor is there to help you! You need to be diligent about having your lab work done and making sure you are getting enough nutrition. You may be depleting the calcium from your bones and not know it. You are setting yourself up for lots of problems on down the road.
If you aren't already, try tracking your intake on fitday.com. Maybe if you do that, you can see where you need to make a change. I had a 6 pound regain in May and have just finally gotten it off. I was also lazy. But geez, if you aren'****ching what you're doing, soon it will be 10 - 20- 30 or more. Pay attention and get back to the program. You've worked too hard to blow it because you are lazy!
Basics, protein 80-100 gms a day. Water - 64 oz or more. Fruits and veggies only after you've eaten your protein. If portion control is a problem, measure everything. Eat only what you've measured and then you're done. Stay away from all simple carbs, sugar, flour, potatoes, rice, pasta, corn, peas.
Exercise? Are you doing any? I personally hate to exercise but I try to get in at least 2-3 times a week. I walk or do water aerobics.
If you are hungry, drink. If you are still hungry in 20 minutes then eat something. Lots of times if I think I'm hungry, I'm really thirsty. Try eating 5-6 small meals in a day instead of 3 larger ones. That keeps your blood sugar more stable and helps with the carb cravings.
Most of all, get to your WLS doc. He'll help you get back on track and make sure nothing else is going on like low thyroid or something else.
Good luck!
