I'm happy to not eat - my body isn't liking it though

I am 3 wks post op and have lost 27lbs. The first week went ok but when I started on pureed foods and protein shakes it became very difficult to keep up with it. I spent the day in bed yesterday and almost passed out in the shower this morning. I'm having a hard time forcing the protein shakes and barely getting in 250 calories a day. The most protein I have had in a day so far has been about 40g. As silly as I thought it sounded in the beginning, I have set the alarm on my phone to go off every 15 minutes and I have an oz. or two of water, I am hoping this helps. I am deathly afraid of losing my hair from the lack of protein ... hopefully that will motivate me to have more. As far as pureed foods ... I attempted chicken but all I can get down is a teaspoonful before I start to feel sick. I was able to eat an egg last week but when attempted since can only manage 1/2. Even with these issues I do not regret the surgery, AT ALL. I am very happy with the weightloss so far and I am sure things will get better but does anyone have any suggestions, recipes etc??
