Any other year or more post ops disappointed with your weight loss?

I am 15 months post op, open proximal RNY. I have lost a total of 130 pounds, and need to lose about 95 more to reach goal. I think I am doing everything right .... water, protein, exercise, vitamins. I don't eat refined sugar at all, and I limit the sugar grams in things like fruit and dairy products. I don't drink carbonated beverages or drink with my meals (I wait at least an hour afterwards). The only thing I refuse to do is to "diet" (starve myself). My weight loss was pretty good the first 7 months (I lost 100 in 6 months, and it has taken me 9 more to lose the additional 30). For the last 2 months, I have gained and lost the same 4 pounds repeatedly. The 130 pounds is about 57% of my excess. I am very depressed about this, as I feel that this is it. I am much healthier now, and feel so much better and am truly thankful for the 130 pound loss ... but I can't help but be sorely disappointed that I will probably never reach (or get close to) goal. I so wanted to be normal .... just this once, as I have never had that experience. Did this happen to anyone else have this experience? I know that WLS is only a tool .... but I feel like I am doing my part, but my tool is letting me down. I have an appointment with my surgeon to discuss/rule out the possibility of mechanical failure. Other than that ... any ideas? I don't usually post anonymously, but I am feeling like such a failure right now, that I don't want to disclose my identity. Hope you guys understand ... and please forgive such a negative post ... but I am in a negative place right now.
