You ever just feel “off” for a few days, low interest, low energy, lack of motivation, poor sleep, eating WAY too much, and have it take you a good 3 - 4 days before picking up on the obvious fact that depression has decided to move in again?

Depression is a removed. Most important thing is to try to stay ahead and keep ahead of it. Pick yourself back up every time, and it starts getting easier.
For me, I almost get an immediate sense that it’s starting to creep in, kind of like getting flashes before a migraine. I get to brace for impact. I think if it sneaks up on you like that, it may be a good idea to try to journal, just so you can maybe get a better sense of your daily moods and perhaps notice if there are any triggers that cause depressive episodes.
