What are you eating? I always suggest that you track your eating for one week and generally you'll find your answer. Are you drinking enough? I can't necessarily give you eating advice (we had completely different surgeries) but usually the answer is "go back to basics".

I do water exercise because it is easiest on my joints. But this year, I am afraid to be in a heated pool with other people so won't do that. I just ordered a recumbent bike. I plan to use it with the iFit program to keep from being so bored.
I belong to Weigh****chers and track my food and weight with their online program. I am on this site everyday. We have a daily thread on the RNY board. You can see what others are eating and get ideas for what you need to do.
I will celebrate my 13th surgery anniversary this month. I have had several times when I have regained, then worked hard and lost the regain again. I do not tell myself that I had a lifestyle change, I tell myself that I am on a diet and will have to be on a diet for the rest of my life.
Once I figured that out and accepted it, then I found it much easier to do the work needed to lose regain and to maintain.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
feeling discouraged. I need strength, and courage and wisdom to figure out a way to lose this weight regain. I appreciate any suggestions or ideas.. I have a heart condition and I have limitations physically but I know this weight must go..
weigh and measure everything.
cut the carbs, cold turkey.
don't drink with meals.
do drink 64+ounces of sf liquid every day.
drop your calories to 600-800 a day
eat more protein than anything
dont eat protein bars... glorified candy bars.
don't worry about exercise. I lost 122# and have maintained the loss for 10 years doing NO exercise at all. It is about what and how much you put in your mouth
good luck!
