question
At 2 months out I had lost 42 lbs total (15 lost during Optifast) so that would have given me a loss of 27 lbs from surgery.
So, it sounds like you are on track. But, everyone loses differently, so try not to compare yourself to others, I know I don't, it makes things too stressful :)

The race isn't given to the swift nor the strong, but it's given to the ones who endure it to the end...
are you happy with the loss that you've had? is your team happy with it? If yes, then leave it at that. When was the last time you "only" lost 30lbs in two months. Heck of a long time, i'm guessing.
You will ALWAYS find someone who has lost more, has less saggy skin, exercises more, eats less, etc etc etc. Stop comparing yourself to others. Be happy with you and your situation (or if you're not, then change it) Comparisons will ONLY lead to disappointment, i promise you.
Pick up 3 bags if potatoes and you tell me if that's not an amazing thing you've just accomplished..!!
Your body will loose at the pace it needs too. Just think about the way your feeling now.. And imagine how you will feel in the next two months and so on.
Your on the right track! Don't look at the numbers just look at how you feel and how your clothes are fitting.
Your doing great
