Can NOT getting in enough protein cause one to plateau?

Week before last, I only took in the protein I ate with my meals (which, being less than two mos post op, is not very much). Before that I was using a protein shake that started giving me trouble (constipation) but I was losing the weight. I didn't lose weight at all that week I didn't take in the protein although I still didn't change my eating habits at all. I've found a better protein (for now) and I've noticed a 5 pound weight loss in a week. I was wondering if not taking in enough protein cause someone to plateau? Thanks HUGS Terri
