Has anyone else only lost this much?

Hi everyone! I had Lap RNY on 4/29/02 (about 5 1/2 months Post-op). I have only lost 45 pounds (I started at 243 & currently weigh 197)I was on a plateau for about 5-6 weeks & just started losing again, however I'm terrified that I am not going to lose down to my personal goal of 150 lbs, let alone the goal that medical charts say of 138 lbs. I eat 60-65 grams of protein a day, about 1000-1200 calories, and exercise for an hour 5 days a week. I guess my question is has anyone only lost 45-50 pounds by their six month mark & still gone on to lose to their goal weight? I see my surgeon this month for my six month check up & I'm scared she's going to tell me I'm a failure!!!
