SHORT ON FAT....help please
That doesn't seem like a good idea. Why not add some healthy fats like walnuts, or something, if you really
need
more fat. What kind of diet are you on where you would consider eating butter, anyway?

Protein Powders
I like
EAS 100% Whey
. It mixes easily with milk or water and tastes pretty good for what it is. BJs has it for ~$20/5 lb bag.

Craving Chocolate...fighting hard not to give in.

Yes the candy bar is full of pig fat.
Mmmm... Bacon bar. Seriously, though, I'll sometimes let 5 or 6 chocolate chips melt in my mouth, and it feels like I've had a lot more chocolate than I have. Semisweet chocolate is a MUFA, like dark chocolate.

What is the best weight loss surgery to get?
I'm just going to throw this out there, because I'm seeing it happen to my dad right now. On an episode of the Biggest Loser that I saw, the doctor/trainers were talking about weight loss surgeries, since more than a few of the contestants previously had these surgeries (this should indicate where I'm going with this).
They said that these surgeries will help you lose weight, but they're only dealing with your current physical problem. A surgery is not going to change you mentally, and unless you have some sort of medical condition, your mental state is what got you (and the rest of us) into this mess in the first place. I know that's true of myself, and that's been that hardest thing to work on: developing a healthy relationship with food and keeping motivated to exercise.
My Dad had a gastric bypass procedure a little over a year ago, and he quickly lost a little over a hundred lbs. If he ate too much, he would throw up. He had to take lots of vitamins to supplement his nutrition, and he was eating generally healthy foods (compared to before). Fast forward to today, and he's back to his old ways. He's managed to stretch his stomach back to a size where he can eat more than I can in a sitting, and he refuses to eat anything that's green. He gained back about 45 lbs nearly as quickly as he lost it after his procedure. An unfortunate side effect of his procedure was that part of his stomach/intestines/whatever that helps to absorb nutrients was removed in the procedure, and he's dealing with the complications from this as well as gaining back a good portion of his weight.
My dad chose surgery because he thought it was the "easiest" solution, but he never really solved his real problems with food or self image. You're really young still, and I think that if you talked to a dietitian and started moving (walking, swimming, or anything), you'd start to see some progress on your own, and that will be really rewarding.

How much protein do I really need?
Different types of proteins are absorbed by the body at different rates. Whey is absorbed relatively quickly, and is good to have in the morning or right after a workout. Something like casein is absorbed more slowly and is good to have before bed.
"White foods" like flour, rice, pasta, sugar, etc. have been processed and refined and are broken down by the body very quickly. Food > Sugar > Fat. More natural foods tend to contain more nutrients than these processed foods and are broken down more slowly. Things like onions and cauliflower are natural and don't count as one of these evil white foods
