I am 10 mo.out how much longer will I lose?

I woke up this morning and was so happy to see the scale read 179 lbs. that is down 100 lbs since I had my surgery on Jan. 6,03. It seems like it took a little longer than most but since I've gotten under 190 lbs. I just haven't been to obsessed with the scale because I feel wonderful. I don't stay on any particular diet, I just eat what I want (which is mostly protein). I do my protein shake in the morning, a sugar-free vanilla latte at work, if I snack it is on peanuts and cheese, a tuna salad or a slice of quiche for lunch and whatever my family is eating for dinner, I eat about as much as my 6 yr. old. I crave sugar sometimes and even though I never dump it makes me so lathargic that I swear I'll never eat it again. I detest fast food which before WLS was the only thing I ate, I try to get in between 40-64 oz of water a day and I lose on the average about 5-7 lbs a month( usually I'll have a sudden weight loss of about 4 lbs. then I'll put 3 back on the next day and it will take 2 weeks to get it back off). What I'm wondering from the seasoned veterans is, when did the weight-loss stop, how did it happen, and if you could go back would you do anything different in your diet? How much more can I expect to lose and when does the weight-loss go from just falling off by itself to being a strict diet to follow, because honestly this has been very easy, i'm just worried I'm not preparing myself for the coming years. I'm so afraid of gaing weight back.
