Is anyother gastric bypass post op patient going through what I am with food?

Next month is one year that I had my bypass surgery. My goal weight for one year is 150, and I am currently 159. My Surgeon told me that this is great and I can stop at this weight if I would like. Obviously I want to get down to 150 since that was what he told me my ideal weight should be. 11 months out, and I seem to be loosing only 1 to 2 pounds, every month for the last three months and this is driving me crazy. Lately, I seem to want to eat anything and everything in sight. To date, I have never gained any weight, and I only weight myself once a week. I just seem to want to eat all the time and I know that I am not hungry, I know it is a mental thing with me. When I am snacking sometimes it is healthy stuff and other times it is stuff that I know I should not be eating. Before surgery I could drink 20 cups of fluid a day, now I am luck to get down 2 to 3 three glasses a day and I don't like any of the protein drinks. I feel like a real failure and I am fearing that I am going to gain back the 95 pounds that I have lost so far. I cannot stop thinking about food. HELP.
