Cut out the wine, measure your portions and remember lean, dense protein first. 😃 You can do it!

This may come off seeming flippant, but it's not meant to be...

Cut out the wine, see a therapist and talk about getting on anti-depressants if you're not already, and go back to basics with your food; protein forward, weigh or measure everything, track all food and drink, get carbs from veggies ( and dairy if you are able to ), and cut out any processed, junky-type foods...even if they are so-called "diet" foods. 

I honestly wouldn't worry about formal exercise at this point, but trying to be more active isn't a bad thing either. 

It's lot of work, but it can be done. 

Edited for typos. 

I have an appointment with a pcp in July I'm going to talk to him about anti depressants and I know I need to stop drinking I'm working on it I just got a fit bit so I'm starting to log all my activities and food and calories so hopefully by next Jan I will be where I want to be with my weight I need to get my vitamins levels checked haven't had them done sine 2012 6 months post op 

Sounds like you are getting your ducks in a row...that's great! 

I wish you luck!

Weight gain comes from eating more than you burn.  If you seriously want to lose weight then you need to stop eating more than you burn.  I allow myself 10 calories for each pound that I want to maintain.  I maintain at 136 so know I need 1360 calories a day to stay there.  I found I can go to 1400 and still maintain.

To lose a pound a week, I go down to 900 calories a day and stay there until the weight is gone.  To lose 1/2 pound a week, I cut to 1250 calories a day.  After surgery my metabolism is slow and I cannot lose more than one or two pounds a week. 

Most people gain weight during year three.  It is usually a combination of eating too much carbs and simple boredom.  Figure out how many calories you can eat per day to lose.  Then allow yourself the time to lose the weight.  For me, 70 pounds would take about a year and a half to lose.
