Has anyone jump started their weight loss again after it seemed to have stopped?

I would appreciate any tips from some people who have had a hard time reaching the 100 lb. loss mark and restarted their weight loss. My husband said to me the other day, "Why does it seem like everyone else who had the surgery has lost more weight than you?" I didn't know what to say. One friend who had the surgery in Jan. has lost 101 lbs. already; she told me her Dr. said her weight loss is record breaking. Two of my cousins have had the surgery this June and Aug. and they are both at lower weights than me already. Although, I weighed a little more than they did, (One by about 50 lbs and the other by 20 lbs) I don't drink alcohol or carbonated beverages. My Dr. said that he has heard of patients who jump start their weight loss after it has stopped. I even know people who just go out and party (drinking alcohol) alot and even those people have lost more weight than me. Also do patients who had the open RNY lose more weight? Help??? I don't want to come this close only to fail. I am 16 months post op and the only way that I can lose now is by eating little or nothing.
