I am 7.5 months post op. I recently gained 6 pounds. Anyone else??

I really need help, advice, support. I had my open RnY on 8/23/01. I lost about 65 pounds and lately have been plateuing for longer periods of time, even though I have increased my exercise. I actually shot UP from 225 to 232 and to say I am confused and depressed is the understatment of the year. I get loads of conflicting 'advice' ranging from the obvious: 'you are eating too much' to: 'you are not eating enough'. What is the DEAL with my metabolism?! I will be 36 years old early next month. My surgeon just sorta shrugs and says I am a slow loser and to just be patient. I just wanted to 'vent' I guess. ~Lisa in NY
