I don't know how much help I can be because I am pregnant right now for the second time since surgery. With my first post op baby I gained a total of 8 pounds and this one so far, 8 as well but I have 3 more months. However, I don't feel like my eating has changed at all during this time. Here is what I eat.
Breakfast
1 egg
1 piece of toast
2 pieces of bacon, sometimes I can't eat all of it.
Lunch
1 small bowl of chili
1/2 peanutbutter sandwich, again sometimes I can't eat it all.
Dinner
1/2 small chicken breast
1/4 cup of green beans
1/4 cup of mashed potatoes, I NEVER eat it all but that is how much I measure out.
I drink alot! I drink so much sometimes that I can barely eat. I don't do it on purpose, it just happens. I am at 160 right now due to the baby but before the baby I was 152. I had been bouncing bewteen 148 and 152 for a few years now. Have you tried the 5 day pouch test? I have heard that helps alot. I am going to do that after this baby. Good luck.

You are not a failure. Just keep telling yourself you had the surgery for a reason and don't give up on that reason. You did it for you. Don't let the surgery go to waste.
Here is a sample of my meals:
Breakfast
2 slices of bacon
1 egg
1 biscuit
coffee
Lunch
1 Ham sandwich without the crust
1 can of beanie wiennies
water or tea
Dinner
1/2 peice of chicken or steak
1 spoonful of mashed potatoes
1 spoonful of green beans ( or some type of g reen veggies)
1 Roll
water or tea
Snack
Coffee
1 cup of Raymundo's Flan
Coffee
Get back on track one day at a time. Good luck to you.Remember to get up on that track with full speed ahead and don't quit until you come to the right station! Good luck!
