5 Day pouch test

I am wondering if you guys really think this is a good thing. I am 3 years out from RNY and have started to gain only 10 lbs but it is scarring me to death. I don't want to go back. I want it to stop now.  I have been under unbelievable stress the last few weeks and the weight return is rearing its ugly head.  I did not have that 20lb bounce back when I lost the weight could it be the 20lb regain now this late?  I have seemed to have lost all control here lately . Any words of wisdom will be welcomed.  I am in need your guys help.

Oh Friend,

    I am there with you. I had some real mental issues when I was in my first two years out. I was losing and not trying, eating everything and still losing. Now I eat nothing and am gaining! I exercise for a hour per day (jazzercise class) plus my elliptical. I am very frustrated too. Apparently the honeymoon is over. Stay tuned so we can support each other. I have gone back to straight protein and vegies and no sugar or sweets or carbs. I am also measuring my foods again like I did in the beginning and laying my fork down between bites. You know, all the stuff they tell you before the surgery. Hang in there....we will be in it together. Three years out must be the start of regain!

I am almost 2.5 years out and have gained 5-6 lbs.  I never reached my goal.  I had 10lbs to go and now have added 5-6 more.  I seem to just eat anything now that I wouldn't try 6 months ago.  I too was thinking of trying the 5 day pouch test after Easter. 
I have been under alot of stress and feel like I have gone back to "eating" to deal with my stress.  I need to stop NOW.
I hope to stay in touch with both of you.  Most people don't understand the fear of gaining this weight back.
