Yes, water all day!

I was sleeved on march 4th and lost 11 pounds 1 week post surgery. Since then I have only lost 3lbs. I follow my diet and get as much water as I can. The only thing is that I am NOT getting the 70 80 grams of protein that I should be getting a day. The only protein I'm getting is from my food I am NOT taking any protein drinks because they seem to make me very sick and I'm not sure if this is contributing to the lack of weight loss. Has anyone else had any of these types of problems?

Im 5'4" and weigh 191 now. I started at 207. I didnt get the opportunity to loose any weight pre-op because im a bander to a sleeve and my surgery date happened so fast. My goal weight is to get to 140.

Im getting enough calories. It usually ranges between 7-800 a day. My thoughts is the lack of protein. Im trying different samples of protein shakes now to see what doesnt make me sick. Also I have lost very little inches. All my clothes still fit the same. Ugh.....frustrating!

Also my pre-op way was 207 I didn't have time to go on a pre op diet because of how fast my surgery was done because I had a lap band before I was sleeved.

I talk to my nutritionist and she said everything that I was doing was right. They did lab work to see if it is a thyroid problem. I'm hoping that that may be the issue because I don't understand why I'm not losing the weight. Very discouraging I'm getting very depressed with it but I'm trying to stay positive and I've been trying to do more exercise.
