Longer-term post-ops - HELP!! I can't seem to stop cheating w/bad foods

I am 8 months post op and I feel like in the last month or so, I have really fallen off the band wangon and I'm not sure how to get back on. My previously (pre-surgery) non-existant sweet tooth has kicked into full gear...I think it's trying to make up for the past 30. I often find myself making little exceptions...oh 1 bag of chips from the vending machine won't hurt...1 candy bar, 1 handful of m&m's etc. HELP!! I can't seem to get control of it...every day I feel like "ok today I'm going to win...i'm not giving in today" only to fail. If it's not something sweet, then it's something fried. I know I'm not eating nearly as bad or as much as I did before, but I know I'm not helping myself here. I only lost 2 lbs last month!! And, I am having the worst time getting water in. I figure on a good day, maybe I get 40-50 oz in. On a bad day it might only be 30-40. HELP!!! I tried a therapy group. There is only 1 therapist in my town who deals with eating issues, and she had started a group that was for overweight people with eating issues...after 2 meetings, she cancelled the group. Now what do I do??
