ok a couple of thing for you sometimes its just changin what you do for execersie your body is use to going to the gym to days a week so mayme going three our for might just be the change it needs and you have to rembere that we are eating more then we where right after surgery so we have more calories to burn and just because the scale is not moving does not mean that you are not loosing inches
for me its seems that people around me notice more they always make commets about how they can tall that I am loosing again I had someone a church who did not no that I had weight loss sugery ask me for the first time last week if I have lost weight
you have done great so far don't be so hard on your self I know that it is hard trust me I was so made that I wasn't where i wanted to be so I canceld my six month follow up and i did go this month still not down a hundred pounds that i wanted but when he gave me a picture of me at preop and then a six months that is when i could realy see the diffrence and said who cares if I didn't loose a hundred pounds by six months look at where I am today the things that I can do know I know I would not be able to do 7months ago with out suergery
you have come a long way be proud of what you have done
what ever you do pleae don't give up feel free to meeage me anytime I am here for you

whenever I get a bit down, I try to think of the alternative...where would I be now if I hadn't had the surgery...it gets me motivated to "get back on program" with exercising and the protein shakes...now that the weather is turning warm, try some different exercising...yard work is a great workout.

My nut said that a good rate of weight loss is 5 to 15 pounds per month. Do the math. That's about 12 to 14 pounds a month, so you're doing great.
In any event, you shouldn't compare yourself to others. Everyone loses at a different rate.
You say that you're not exercising like you should. That's a huge part of making your tool work for you. Not only does it burn calories/fat and increase your metabolism, but (at least for me) it will make you want to eat right so that you don't "ruin" all the hard work you did with your exercising.
I do take exception to your comment about other people having such an easy time. I know that I've been successful by working very hard each and every day. I am exercising as much as possible and following my diet to the "T." So please don't assume that the weight loss has come easy for others. We may just be doing everything we're supposed to do.
And please don't be discouraged or disappointed. Just step up to the plate and do what you know you should do. Everything will start to fall into place (or off 
) when you do. Good luck!
