I just wish everyone would give themselves an honest shot at your
apparently sensible calorie-counting / non-deprivation approach before
giving up on themselves and either getting gastric banding or letting
it all go. Eating 2000+ kcal/day is not deprivation!

2-3lbs/week is "slow" compared to starving yourself, but as long as
you weigh less this week/month than you did last week/month, you're on
the right track, and that's all that matters in the long run.

Surgery is something I just never considered. I have nothing against those
who choose it but if it came down to a choice between surgery and staying
fat, I'd choose staying fat. Luckily, I am pretty sure there are other
choices.

Now that I'm a lot closer to my goal I've relaxed a bit, but I can
certainly say being on this side of 200lbs is a lot more pleasure than
what any food can give me.

I bet! I hope to see that side of 200 someday.
