Hi, We have similar starting weights, I'm told now (after surgery) it is much harder for us to lose and we won't see big numbers like other people who started at a higher weight/BMI. Its depressing. I lost all my weight pretty much during the presurgery liquid Protein thing two weeks BEFORE I even had surgery. Then some more the first week after surgery when I was unable to eat. I Have only lost 5-6 pounds since the first week after surgery 7-8 weeks. My nutritionsit said it is not a stall just my rate of losing. I don't know about you but it is frustrating for me. The nurses and receptionist at my general Doctors office even asked me when I was having the surgery - when was it sceduled, this was 7 weeks after I had it!!! I've even had the thought occassionally that I could have lost 5 pounds in 8 weeks without the surgery and did before easiliy....but I know that is just negative thinking and try to stay away from those thoughts. If I could have done it and kept it off without surgery I would have, but didn't. I can only hope surgery will prove different over time. We may just be slow going but over time we will be healthier even if it takes forever. We just have to keep following directions an hope it will come off eventually. Keep positive and good luck.
