I also had my surgery on 12/12 and have found the weight to be coming off very slowly. I get really frustrated sometimes but I also realize that it is still coming off. I have alsways had a problem losing weight. It takes me forever and I can take off 20 lbs but after that I always stall out and have a hard time getting past that. Since the surgery I have lost 38 lbs. By comparison to a lot of people here I have not lost a lot yet. But it continues to come off. I am also not exercising as much or as hard as I should. I know when I can and do increase the amount, duration and intensity of my workouts it will come off much faster.
The less you have to lose the slower it seems to take. Consider that the larger a person is the more calories they have to consume to stay at that weight. The smaller the person is the less calories that are consumed overall. Now that we are all eating approximately the same amount of calories those that consumed more calories before have a larger change in their calories so the result is that they will lose faster in general.
Also everyone is different, different body types, different chemistry and everyone is doing something different to lose the weight.
I know it is frustrating when you feel compared to others you are not getting there. Try to remember you are different and you are losing the weight and getting there in your own way and in your own time.
