Weight Gain 3 yrs out...Is DS broken?
You can break ANY surgery if you are eating "NOTHING but CARBS." Cutting to the chase...go BACK to what you know and everything will level off and be fine. Don't and you'll undo ALL your hard work.

Five to seven pounds? That was Thanksgiving dinner for me pre op.
No, your DS isn't broken but eating carbs will cause you to gain weight because refined carbs are absorbed 100%. That isn't new, it's always been that way. Eat a high protein, high fat diet and you will probably see those pounds disappear since those are well malabsorbed.

Keep your carbs under 100 grams/day. The weight should start dropping. If not, go lower in 25 gram increments.
Binge on bacon, cheese, nuts, jerky. You can eat protein all day as much as you want. Eat plenty of fat, it will make you feel too full to want to binge on carbs.
Start on Friday, silly.
Good luck!

The villagers have tried chasing me away with lighted torches, but I refuse to budge because I look lovely by candlelight. I'm going to keep paying it forward whether they like it or not. 
Other than the recent gain, you've done very well and this is just another growing pain that you'll work out.
Nice to see you! Don't be a stranger.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
