To clarify the 10.5 lb weight gain... Some may recall I took a tumble while running back in February... broke my collar bone and separated my shoulder. As a result, my gym routines have been reduced to strictly cardio... no resistance training. I suppose I could have done legs on machines, but I did not. That equates to less weekly calorie burn on average for me. Add to that, I decided not to track my cal intake during that time... with all the choir trips, college trips, play rehersal dinners and snacks, graduation dinners, work travel... etc, You get the picture.. a lot of undocumented consumption combined with a little indulgence and the scale can move very quickly, even if you are still doing cardio. I actually stepped on the scale about 3 weeks ago and was right at 199.. that's almost a 20 lb upswing from my low of 178. Dialed back on the slat and sugar laden foods, so in reality I am actually down about 10 lbs in 3 weeks! 

If I help just one person it was worth the effort. How long ago was your bypass? 

Did you have a cardia rehab offered to you about 4 weeks post op? That is where I started to push myself with my walking where I actually broke a sweat, then eventually started running on the treadmill. Fast forward 1 year and I am running 15-20 miles a week; had a 5.25 mile run last week... increasing my distance in hopes to run a half marathon 

I know the journey.
