Help with Weightloss
Ist question - how is your health?
2nd question - are you happy with where you are at size wise?
If you're healthy and happy - who cares what the scale or the surgeon says. I weigh more than I look and I think that is because I have heavy bones and muscles from being morbidly obese as long as I was. Weight bearing builds bone mass, so that's probably the only good thing about being fat! My days of weighing 135 are over unless I'm anorexic.
Most folks think I weigh between 135 and 140 but I wear a 10-12 and weigh 160 and am 5'6. Sure I'd love to say I weighed 135, but it's not realistic for me. I wanted to find a healthy weight and STAY there. No more bouncing up and down.
As far as stretching your pouch - it's going to be bigger than it was when you were post-op. But if you're following most of rules, protein first, keep the grazing to a minimum, take your vitamins, no drinking with meals - you should be fine.

It's better to be imperfectly happy than perfectly unhappy. 
Most people would be wise to learn to look at the 'glass is half full' perspective in life. Our bones are like lead pipes, and unless you've had PS, you're carrying some extra skin, too. My doctor, at my 18 month check, told me that if I ever set foot in his office weighing what the moronic MetLife charts say I should weigh, he'd slap me in the hospital with a feeding tube before I ever knew what hit me.
Be happy with the progress you HAVE made, and just keep your WLS habits in the front of your mind!
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
