What am I doing wrong?

My surgery was on August 14, 2013. Pre-surgery I was 243 lbs and now I am 217 lbs.
My weight goes back and forth every day and it has been like a stale mate here for going on 2 weeks now. I can't get passed the 217 mark and if I eat anything I will go back up to 220.
It has been very difficult getting food down. Shakes, protein's and vitamins. I am struggling to get anything down. The only thing I have found that I can get down and keep down (if I take 45 minutes to eat) is Salmon. The frozen packakge.
Other than that, Its hard. I am still on a soft solid diet. So I will try mashed potatoes, yogurt, eggs, bananas, etc... Yet anything I eat just sits there and takes forever to go down and hurts, which in turn makes me not want to eat.
Everything else has a funny smell or taste and its like parting the red sea to get me to eat it.
I am walking everyday at work. I walk around the building 4 times which equates to roughly a mile. I try to get enough water down. I drink about 3 bottles a day. (about 45 oz's). It's been tough getting that down.
I didnt think I would have this many issues. It just feels like I am failing and I don't know what to do.
