kinda new here
Hi Lisa,
I am Angie - I am only 3 months post op... well 3 months and two weeks, but I go for my three month weigh in tomorrow!
I am down about 90 pounds... I have gone from 427 to 346 as of 2 weeks ago... I don't have any great advice for you, except meet with the NUT and see what she can tell you...
Do you keep a food journal? Fitday.com or thedailyplate.com? I admit, I suck at this and don't do it... but I so far can't eat enough to sabotage myself, so I am feeling safe for the moment - I do know that it will get much worse later on if I don't get better at keeping a food diary. Since surgery I have discovered I eat because I am bored. I still find myself doing it, but now I CAN'T eat it!!
I struggle at this early on... today has been a bad day for me eating wise. I haven't had too many so far... today however I found myself in the KFC drive thru - I really wanted just a grilled chicken breast, but when the lady asked if I wanted to make it a meal for $.99 more, do you think I said no??? Do you think I ordered green beans? Nope... I got potato wedges and mac and cheese??? WTH... I ate a bite of mac and cheese and got sick - lesson learned. Even before I got out of the drive thru I knew I wasn't going to eat the potato wedges at least....
Gotta learn that even though my eyes are still bigger than my stomach, my stomach has the power to rule... *grins*
The good news is that you know you need help, and here you are! SOMEONE here is sure to have good advice... I would be lost without my OH MD family.

I live in Rosedale, so I'm not too far from you. I haven't had surgery yet. I'm still fighting to get approved by BCBS. 
Hello and welcome we all are struggling with weight issues. I am pre op and confused on what surgery to do. I have been advised to talk to a doc and see what they thinks best. I am dieting on my own and have lost almost 30 pounds. I know there is great support here and good people who wilhelp and listen to you anytime. Dont be so hard on yourself. We all need a little help now and then..
