Is there anyone out there who is almost a yr. post-op like myself who is struggling?

I had the lap RNY on 2/14/03 and as of my last checkup I am only down 76 lbs. That was this past Nov. I know I can do alot of things to change and get back on track but I am struggling. If you are like me and are almost a yr post-op and are struggling, and or having alot of success, any advice and or tips would help. I am either craving Crackers and carbs lately, or chocolate. Over the summer for about 2 mths.- I cut out the carbs almost completely out of my diet- and it did nothing. I still didn't lose anymore. I know that the stomach stretches over time. I am amazed that sometimes I can eat more things than others. I can down several crackers and cookies in a sitting, while other times get full very easily. What about you? I hope someone can help me who is in the "same boat" as me.
