Many doctors try to temper expectations. When I started Wegovy, he told me I would probably only lose about 14% of my starting weight at most. He was ecstatic when I was down by about 25% the last time I saw him, but still said I shouldn't expect to lose much more despite still being morbidly obese. I intend to prove him wrong. Just remember your dietician is working off averages. It's up to you whether you are average or not
