Too much or not enough...I can't find a happy medium.

I am 8 months post-op, currently weigh 252lbs, and I am frustrated. I used to log everything I ate. Unfortunately, I got away from that habit but I still thought I was eating pretty healthy. Recently I noticed I hadn't been losing much weight, so I started logging my food intake again. I was horrified when I realized just how many empty calories had snuck their way into my diet! I really started focusing on eating better, and the calories and fat in my diet went way down. The problem: I am not losing much now either. I am worried that maybe I am eating too little. It just seems that when I eat good for me foods I only consume about 600-700 calories a day.I stay full all the time and really don't want to eat anymore. If I eat anything I want, I end up eating well over 1200 calories in a day. I have been eating yogurt with wheat germ for breakfast, some roasted chicken or turkey breast and carrots for lunch and lean meat and a vegetable for dinner. Sometimes I get a craving and I will have some Smart Pop microwave popcorn in the evening. I drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water every day, I ride my exercise bike in the evening (I'm up to 5 miles) and I wear a pedometer all day and make sure that I walk at least 10,000 steps. So approximately how many calories should I be consuming? How low is too low? At what amount of calories does your metabolism slow? Any suggestions for me? I know it's possible this is a plateau, but I just want to clarify how much is to little and how much is too much when it comes to calories, or even fats carbs or protein. Anyone have some guidelines to follow?
