Hi Jim
Welcome and congratulations on your amazing weight loss. I'm so glad you are here to seek advice and probably pass on some of your own wisdom. I found an article with a 5 day diet plan for when we hit a plateau or start to gain during our weight loss journey. It is titled "GASTRIC BYPASS 5 DAY POUCH TEST". You can find it on the forum page scroll half way down and look to your left. Sorry I don't know how to move the link to this pots with my iPad.
Please keep us posted and don't get discouraged

Welcome Jim.
Two things. Please do join in the forum and we will support you as much as you need it. I am newbie to this forum. However, I have participated in many forums from Weightwatchers to Diabetes. The main purpose of a forum is for people with common goals/interest to support each other especially during tough times.
The second thing I will tell you is find or go back to your local bariatric support group and attend meetings and let them know where you are at. They will also provide you with much needed help. Perhaps a visit back with the nutritionist would help. Get your boundaries reestablished.
Don't let all your hard work go to waist (NO PUN INTENDED). I have attended two support groups already. There are a few people in these groups that have been going to the meeting for over 10 years and that is what they claim is the reason for their continued success. This includes one lady who had a "relapse" as you did and gained back 40 pounds. However, the group helped her to get back on track. She dropped the 40 again and is doing fine.
Don't lament. Don't beat up on yourself. Just pick yourself up by the boot straps and get back up on the horse and ride it!
