Questions, Please Help!

I was sleeved on 03/20/2012 and have lost so far 42 pounds. I am so excited about my weight loss but have noticed that Im already showing sagging skin under my arms. I want to know the importance of Protein. I have not been able to consume the 60-80 grams that I was instructed. All the power shakes I buy are gross and I dont know how to mix it. I was told to use 4 oz of Water and one scoop of protein. I found these protein shots at walgreens that have 28 grams of protein and 0 sugars 1 gram of carbohydrate. Does anyone know about that? will it be ok to take it? On another note I feel constipation what can be done to fix that? Theres days that I drink the minimum of 64 oz of water, then theres days I dont. Im so confused becuase I dont know how much is too much when it comes to water, I dont want to pop a staple inside persay. lol

I need as much advice as I can get, The nutritionist thats involved with my bariatric doctor is the type that you have to push the words out of him. I want to be healthy and need all the help I can get.

Specially with the water intake, protein & excercise.

thank you!!

desperate for answers and all the help I can get
