9 mos post op - scale keeps going up & down... lately more up

Help! I'm 9 months post op. Female, 5'4, started at 261, now 142. Scale keeps fluctuating over the last few weeks up 2 lbs (by 1/2 lb each day) then back down 1/2 a lb here and there. It's freaking me out! I try to be good and eat soup on the days that I gain 1/2 a lb. I'm worried that this is it. That I am not going to lose any more weight! I know I should be happy with the loss that I have - 119 lbs, and I know I should be happy that I went from a size 26 to a 6 - BUT I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE OVER! I still have more weight to lose. I still think I'm overweight! And I CERTAINLY don't want to gain this weight back! I'm panicing and don't know what to do! Halloween hasn't helped - I don't eat regular candy - I have bad dumping with sugar - but I've had some sugar free candy. My sweet tooth is out there. My snacking is back. My hunger is back. It's easy to say "stop snacking" or "choose better foods", but come on, if I could do that on my own, would I have had this surgery?! Does anyone have any real useful tips on what to do? Am I alone? Help me!!!!!!!
