I am 40 days post ops and since I was told I can eat normally I have gained 6 pounds I am so worried I must admit I eat bread max few bites from a sandwich, Pasta like two forks for carbs could this be the reason

It does sound like the carb monster! Slider food can also be an issue. My doc goes with 2 roughly tablespoons of textured Protein, followed by 1-2 tablespoons of vegetables, so you're feeling satisfied and it's slow to go down. Are you keeping a food diary and tracking calories? That might help you figure out what the issue is.

I don't know about you, but it's so cold here that I'm having trouble getting out and getting moving! I know that will help me with my goals.

Good luck-- you'll figure this out!

Suggest u keep track of foods u eat (I love myfitnesspal and it is free). I am 8 weeks out and ...my goal is 800 calories per day and 65-70'grams off Protein.per day. I do eat fruit with my Protein shakes..sometimes bran cereals with milk, veggies, very little rice, 1/2 slice of 40 calorie bread, I try to eat my Protein first. And many times I cannot anything else on my plate cause I am completely satisfied.

Exercise has really helped me with a stall I was having for two weeks. I Do cardio for 30 minutes at a medium strenuous pace..the I do machines for my upper /lower body.

Get back to basic and u should start losing again. Also r u eating very salty food. ..part of your weight gain maybe be salt retention.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
