How much should I be eating?

I will be 7 months post-op on March 2. Sometimes I can't seem to eat much at a time, but sometimes I feel like a bottomless pit. How much should I be able to eat at this point? Also I sometimes get in slumps and eat all the wrong things for a few days but for the most part I try to watch what I eat and I try to excercise 5 days a week. I usually do 30-40 minutes on a precor which is cardio and about 3 times a week I do light weight machines to tone. I have only lost 79 lbs. I started at 240 and am down to 161. Shouldn't I have lost more? It seems like I really have to diet and excercise to get any weight off now and then it is very slow. Could this be the point for me where my weightloss is about to stop completely? I'm so frustrated. I want so badly to get to my goal of 135. It sounds like it would be so easy to shed 26 lbs but it seems to be getting darn hard. I have however finally gotten into a size 10 jeans. I was starting to think I would never see anything smaller than a 12. I am so greatful for what I have already lost but want it all off. I guess we are never satified.
