Is it okay to drink protein drinks during the six month diet?

I started my six month diet/exercise program today.  I went to the store and they had protein powder on sale so I purchased some.  When I got home I got to thinking that maybe I shouldn't drink it while on my six month diet/exercise program.  Any opinions?  Thank you.

Protein helps us lapband individuals already banded to get protein we need cause we are eating less, I would most certainly ask your physician if its ok.   If not keep it so when your banded you will have

Yes, many ppl drink protein drinks while doin the 6 month diet.  Many even lose a good bit of weight during that time.
I dont know which surgery you are having but just so u know if its gastric bypass your taste will change a lot after surgery and the same protein drinks or anything else u liked pre op may not be something u tolerate post op.
Best of luck to you! :)

Just an FYI...I think the support mtg on the 12 is tasting protein drinks. maybe you could find one you do like and have it ready for afterwards! Just an idea.
