Default Protien Deficiency

How does a protien deficiency prevent weight loss? Right now I'm losing weight pretty well, but I gather that if I don't up my protien intake I won't be continuing with that. Why? I stopped drinking my protien drink during the first week after surgery because it gave me gas/bloating. But I'm worried now about what happens if I don't pick up the protien intake. Can someone clarify what happens with protien deficiency? Is there a bar or something other than the powder mixes that I could take? I guess I'll try the mix again but I'm not hopeful.
