At 21 months post op, gained 4 lbs! Help

I understand it is common to regain a small % of the weight we lose after we've reached the maximum. I started at 252, had open rny in May of 2001. Reached an all time low of 112 and fluctuated between 112-115 for about 2 months. Now all of a sudden, I can't get below 116-120. I layed off my exercise for 2 months...probably the reason, but I've gotten back in the gym again. I have suddenly found myself hungry all the time. And nothing satisfies me. I was having trouble with constipation and my PCP recommended that I drop my calcium to see if that would help. It did a little, but now my nails are getting ridges and very brittle. They've even started breaking. I've not had a nail to break in years until the last month. So I started back on my calcium. Back came the constipation. Something is really strange. No pain other than in my shoulders and lower back and I think that's caused by the loose apron and saggy boobs. Anyone got any advice or is anyone willing to kick my e-butt to get me going again? I was very happy at 112-115. At 4'11", that was just right, but I'm terrified of gaining weight. HELP!!!!
