Only lost 22 lbs in the first 7 weeks and I'm panicking.

I just went for my 7 week post op visit and got some disheartening news. I've only lost about 22 pounds in these seven weeks. I thought I would be losing much more and I'm disappointed. I don't eat too much and I walk for 45 minutes every day. The nutritionist told me that I am just on the slow side of losing weight and that MAYBE I needed to cut out eating beans every day. However, I feel like the surgery did not work for me (lap RNY). I have 100 more pounds to lose and I get the feeling that I am never going to reach that. I read other people's posts and they have lost about 40 pounds by the seventh week. At this rate I'll never get healthy. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anybody have any suggestions? Help.
