HELP PLEASE

Ok, I had my surgery, LapRNY 10-31-07, started at 374 and now at 233. My doctor's goal for me was between 170-190 and then I moved and my new doctor's goal for me was 225, at my support group I was given a formula to see how much weight I should lose, don't remember what it was something like 100 lbs for my height in feet and then so many pounds for the inches, anyway, with that formula, I should end up at 220, my personal goal is 199. My problem is that I am eating like crazy...all the time. If I eat something with too much sugar, I know that it will take an hour for the dumping to end and then I'll eat something else. Thank God my stomach can only hold so much cuz I know when to stop but it's like I get full and then as soon as the full feeling is over, I'm eating again. I want this to work, I don't want to fail. I've been thinking of doing slim fast to get me back on track. I'm at home all day and so every time I walk past the kitchen I'm grabbing a 100 calorie snack or something of that nature. I was like well, if I eat 10 snacks a day that's my 1000 calories...what a fool! I'm not even sure how many calories I should be eating. I hate, let me say that again, HATE exercising but I know I have to to get this weight off and keep it off. I'm just so mad at myself right now for not doing this right, I should have had the weight off by now. I'm still determined to get it off it's just taking me longer and I just can't get my head in the right place. Any suggestions for me??? I take my vitamins off and on, not regularly. It's hard because before I had my surgery, I was only taking one medication and now I've got all these vitamins and I either forget or just don't take them but when I get my bloodwork done, everything is good. Somebody give me some harsh "constructive" criticism to get me back on track. I've moved and there are no support groups in my area so I'm trying to do this on my own, HA!!! Thanks guys for listening.
