Why does protein supps slow some weight loss and not others?

I went for my 3 month check up on Aug. 8 and was told that I am 5% behind my targeted weight loss. I have no problem with that as I did not exercise at all the first 3 months home. I know--bad me! But, I am walking and exercising now. I started out 411 and now today weigh 349. Not really all that dramatic. I was also told that protein supps would slow and put weight on. I now believe that is true. Due to my hectic schedule, I attempted to supplement the protein that I wasn't getting and only lost 9 lbs in the last 3 weeks. I was told at that time to increase the protein by eating all meats. When I did I met Mr. Constipation--ouch! This surgery really seems to be a catch 22 for me, lol! Anyway, I am wondering also if an increase in my appetite have anything to do with my slow weight loss along with the the forbidden protein supps? It seems that after 3 months my ability to eat more and my appetite increased. It seems to be such a battle sometimes to not eat and if I do not get full enough I get hungry too soon. I am one of the Dr. Champion bunch if that helps anybody. He does things differently and do not want us to deviate from his instructions at all.
