Unfortunately excercise does not either help you lose weight nor keep it off. Only what you put in your mouth does that. Try going back to basics. If you haven't already, I'd definitely seek additional emotional and mental health support. That's the number one "basic" that too often gets overlooked. You need to figure out why you became obese in the first place, address the issues behind your struggles and establish new behaviors and habits that allow you to accomplish your goals. The mental side of WLS plays a far bigger role in long term success than the physical part.
I'm just over three years postop myself and no way could I have maintained my 100 pound loss without the help of my therapist. But in case you don't have the resources to jump into professional therapy, you may check out
www.smartrecovery.org and here are some books I found helpful along the way.....

"Eat it up" by Connie Stapleton
"Get out of your head and into your life" by Steven Hayes
