Feeling like a failure in the gym. Unsure what to do.

For my current states. I am a 30 year old male who is 5’11”, and I weight around 255-260 lbs.

I gained most of my weight from a medicine helping me with an illness which basically shut down my metabolism.

I have never been someone who would go to the gym even when I wasn’t overweight.

I started at one of the Starting Strength gyms so I could have structure and support.

Here is the problem I can do all the exercises:

Bench press, OHP, and deadlift just fine.

I cannot squat full range of motion because it hurts my knees, and it is making me feel defeated. I have only done the program/class for two weeks and I want to quit just because of my squat issues.

I don’t know what to do because this has been something I dreamed about doing and now it seems like it is crashing in front of my eyes.

If anyone has any suggestions or tricks/tips I would love to hear them.
