Getting A Little Discouraged :-(

So, I am feeling a little discouraged. I KNOW this surgery is not going to help me lose weight overnight. HOWEVER, I do my protein in the morning, eat 2 sensible meals the rest of the day, don't snack, I exercise 5 days a week for a little under an hour (lunchbreak is an hour) and yet I have only lost 15 lbs since my surgery. I was banded on 6/12/12. Now, my boyfriend on the other hand, was banded 4/10/12. He was 475 pre op, and to date (8/29/12) has lost a total of 83 lbs. He is a truck driver, so he doesn't really eat the best food. DOES NOT exercise, and he drinks beer/liquor. Yes..I am green with envy because I am really really trying. Yes I know the textbook answer that 2-3 lbs a month is normal, men lose weight faster than women..blah blah blah. Prior to my surgery I was exercising/dieting and was losing the same amount of weight I am now. I just feel that I am now in debt to my aunt and uncle for 15,000 dollars, and I could have the same results and NOT be in debt. Please help..... Signed, Discourged me =(
