Why do I have to diet? I had this surgery so I wouldn't overeat again.

16 months out and I'm 50 pounds from my goal weight. In the last 6 months I've actually gained 10 pounds. I've found I can eat a meal every 30 minutes and it scares me! If I didn't "feel" hungry it would be one thing but I AM hungry that often! This is more depressing than I can put in words. My surgeon says I must have "stretched" my pouch and now have to pay the price. What a jerk! I have never dumped and can eat several cookies at one time without feeling sick. That's better than the whole box but still... Is there anyone else out there that feels like I do? I had a re-do at 6 months out because the opening from my pouch to small intestine had opened up. I feel like I'm never full. This is torture!
