Im so bummed, Weight loss is so slowwwwwwww.Help?

I went for my 3 month post op check last week and was very depressed. I had RNY on 8/8/01. I had lost 60 pounds, I started out at 437 pounds and at my 3 week check I had lost 36 pounds, which means in the last 10 weeks I had only lost 2.4 pounds a week. In discussing with my doc he didnt really have a suggestion. Im eating between 700 and 800 calories, getting about 80 ounces of water, had been getting 60 gm protein until 2 weeks ago when i upped it to 80 a day keeping the calories at 800. I am exercising regularly 5 times a week. Even my doc was disappointed with the loss, I started so big I should be losing more and he wants me to be ablt to maximize the first 6 months. I have no clue what to do differently. Any ideas I mean am I eating too little HELP! Sue
