WHEN SHOULD I EAT?

I know I should not compare myself to others, but my progress is discouraging me. I will be 4 months post op on 1/23. I went to the doctor yesterday and did a weigh in and I have only lost 13 pounds since my last visit on 12/11, for a over all total of 56 pounds. I visit this site everyday and I read about others who have the same surgery date and they had lost so much more. I thought the more you weight the quicker you would loose it. I started out at 382. I exercise 5 times a week for an hour (treadmill and bicycle). A question that I have should I eat when my body tells me to feed it, or should I stick to a regular schedule and eat my meal even if I am not hungry? I eat 3 meals a day and 2 protein shakes. When a snacking urge hits me, I will have peanuts, peanut butter or lettuce. I have also noticed that when I eat I still eat fast, I keep catching myself and have to slow down
