Requesting suggestions with getting back on track.

I am 11 months out from open RNY, down 85# and have found that I can eat a small amount of just about anything. I have not dumped yet, though I have not pushed the envelope so to speak and probably have not eaten enough sugar or greasy foods to push me over the top and cause me to dump. I also only have about 1/4 of my pancreas (was taken out due to having pancreatitis in 1991) so that might be a facter in me not dumping. So, for me eating just about anything is coming to the point of me eating a lot of junk foods, nothing seems to really bother me, food wise. But, what really is bothering me (mentally) is that the weight loss has just about stopped and I know that it is because I am taking in too many carbs and other junk, even over the 1/2 cup limit that has been set by my doctor's office for a meal and for the 3 snacks that I am to have in a day. The 3 snacks are supposed to be smaller meals, about 100 calories each. Bringing my total of calories in a day to 1000-1100. I have another 26# that I want to loose to be at my goal. My question is to all of you out there what things have helped you to stay on track to loose the remaining pounds? Give me your feedback and suggestions on how you stayed on track mentally and physically. I have let the exercise slip a little also, not out of laziness just being plain busy with Easter coming up and we (DH and I, who also has had open RNY) are going on a cruise on April 21st. I am open to your suggestions. Christine open RNY 5/7/03 241/156/130
