Why can't I lose weight quicker?

I am despondent. I seem to not be able to lose weight easily. I am doing all the right things. I drink more than the recommended 64 oz. of water a day, I eat so much protein it's boring. I eat nearly no sugar or carbs at all. I am walking three times a week plus running after my two toddlers. I'm taking my vitamins, too. I am two months post-op as of tomorrow and I have only lost 35 lbs. What's going on? What am I doing wrong? I have read so many profiles and talked with so many other patients and I have yet to come across someone like myself who has lost so little in two months time. I'm feeling very down on myself and getting that "loser" feeling again. I don't mean to whine but I don't know what else to do. If I'm doing something wrong, I'd like to know what it is. Is my body so determined to hold on to this fat? Meanwhile, I question myself every minute of every day. Help!
