Post op 25 months, amazingly successful, now gaining, PLEASE HELP!

I had surgery July 2003, surpassed my personal goal weight losing 220#'s and weighing 133! Dr. approved for me to get pregnant, which I could not before. I only gained 22 lbs. during the perfectly healthy pregnangy, all lab work 4 months after delivery, everything perfect! I lost all 22 plus an extra 2 lbs. in 10 days by NO effort of my own! I knew I had been blessed and lucky! I was on cloud 9 knowing I had "done it" I finished my complete journey of losing the weight, getting pregnant without gaining too much and THEN being able to lose it all in no time!!! I did not exercise at all while pregnant. Baby is now 4 months old and in the last 3 weeks, I have seen the scaled tip up a lb. a day or so, and now I weigh 144! That is about 10 lbs. The thing is, the minute I noticed I was 137 I started to walk/jog at least 3 times a week and I do 360 crunches a night on my ab rocker as well. I also really cracked down even harder on the protein, which by the way, my eating habbits never changed, I eat very well in regards to the rules, NEVER have done soda's. Not only cut out all sweets, but started eating about 80% protein. The scale is still tipping. This morning I could not help but feel that old familiar demond of helplessness and the doom of being out of control that I have not felt in over two years. What is happening? I eat one boiled egg for breakfast, maybe another for a midmorning snack. The only snacks I eat are pretzels, some cheese, bananas or popcorn. I have never eaten more than just a half a sandwhich for lunch, or leftover meats from dinner the night before. I also eat a lot of salads. Am I alone here???
