you lost 40 lbs - so now you're just going to gain it again? Yes - that's not a quick loss, but it IS a loss. You'll likely keep losing if you start sticking to your program again. But still - you've lost 40 lbs. Why sabotage that and gain it all back?

I personally wouldn't start a day 1 since for most of us, that's just liquids. Go back to when you first started on solid food - for me it was Protein first, then non-starchy vegetables - and then if I still had room, a small serving of fruit or whole-grain carb. Measure/weigh everything and be sure to track/log it. I always go back this when I get off track for more than a couple of days.

I agree with the others that you should start at the beginning again. I go onto liquids when I feel I've been eating too much. Protein Drinks and broth. I've learned that if I eat bread or Pasta, which I technically am not supposed to eat for another week yet (4 months post op), and other empty calories and higher-calorie foods, I will drop less weight. Have you been sticking to your quarter cups, increasing 1/4 cup every 3 months? STOP at 1 cup per meal and NEVER go beyond that for the rest of your life! Also, drink 30 minutes before eating, then you can drink again 30 minutes after your last bite. Chew a lot and eat slowly. Space your meals 2 hrs or more apart rather than just eat again when there's the least bit of room in your stomach, eating kind of constantly all day. Schedule and space out your drinking and your meals, eating Protein first. Write down your schedule in a food diary. MyFitnessPal is an excellent app for keeping tabs. You should be at around 1/2 cup-to-3/4 cup of food at this point. Don't reach 1 cup until one year; you still have six months until you'll be at 1 cup!

Make sure you are getting all of your Protein in too! I know that not getting all your protein will stall out weight loss for whatever reason. Don’t lose hope friend!! You CAN do this!
