I am so depressed about my rate of weight loss.

I had my Open RNY on June 19th, 2001. I started out at 315lb and as of today I am only 255lb. I have been between 260 and 255 for the past 4 weeks. I know that if I increase my protein and water things would be better for me. It is so difficult for me to get the required amount of food in. What are you guys eating exactly because the things that I eat do not have enough protein in it?? I have been trying to increase my water intake. I now drink approx 24-40 oz a day. As for exercising I had to stop temparally due to an injury in my knee. I know that some of you might say that I am doing fine but it really hurts when NO ONE notices the difference. I'm really trying to keep my head up but it is becoming more and more difficult day by day. I was more outgoing before the surgery. I feel as if friends and family are looking at me as a failure....
