First of all, congratulations on your weight loss. Gastric bypass is not an easy procedure and good for you for getting it done.
Two things:
1 - Has your diet and/or activity level changed? Even with a gastric bypass, it's possible to eat more calories than you can burn off.
2 - Have you had your thyroid tested recently? An underactive thyroid can contribute to weight gain.

Good luck!
