You seemed to hit on something important, the prior back surgeries means you are a chronic pain patient. This would lesson your daily physical activity so that when you do eat it is put on as calories because now your metabolism is slower. So even if you are eating less, it doesn't matter because your metabolism is very slow. The only way to solve this is to become more physically active. Also depression can cause you to eat more, just something more to think about.

P.S. did you know that you posted this same question twice?
