I'm three weeks out and I've only lost 10 or so pounds.

I went back to work on Thursday. The last time these people saw me I weighed 291 pounds, which is before I started my preop diet. My coworkers didn't notice that I'd lost weight. Same deal with my hairdresser, who knows I had surgery. I hadn't seen him since I was heavier and he's always been quick with a compliment, but he didn't say anything.

I have crippling hunger headaches all the time. I'm nauseous most of the time. I have no energy. I'm forcing down Protein drinks to get my 80+ grams a day and they make me nauseous no matter what I do, and when I'm not doing that, I'm forcing down Water. I'm supposed to go slow and I'm supposed to be eating pureed food three times a day but I just don't have enough hours in the day since I can't drink anything with meals.

I don't know what to do. I keep getting yelled at for being negative, but all I've been doing today is crying because I'm so discouraged. I feel like this is all pointless and that I've ruined my life.

What is it about the 40 lb mark and people noticing? I'm 6 months out and about 45 lbs down. My husband finally noticed about a week ago! I was noticing right away.
