Protein after surgery

Months after surgery are there ppl still taken in extra protein?  I have stop and I think thats why I am not losing the weight like I want to be.  I have started back taking the protein shots.  Is there a set time to stop using protein?

My Doc said once I am back on regular food I don't need extra protein anymore.
If you add up what you eat in a day - it can total the 60g. you need.

I am over an year out, and I still drink it. I need it to get me by between breakfast and lunch. But most people I know stopped.

At my support meetings there are people who are out a pretty long time that still drink the protein drinks.  Especially for breakfast because it helps  them get energy and get them going in the morning.  That is what I am going to do.  I think I will feel better by getting protein in with the drinks.  It will make me feel better when I get that far along.

Which protein drinks are you taking? I was in my rite aid and all of the GNC product section was either buy one get 50 off the second or buy one get one free.

figure stock up if they have good stuff...

thanks

I personally like Cytosport products. Either the Muscle milk or the Complete Whey Low Fat.

i dont know the name of it. i ordered it offline but now they sell it in our local wlamart. it has 26g protein in 2 fl ozs.. i think i bought a case for $100 right after my surgery but wlamart has it for $2.97 a shot.  i was just curious if ppl continue to take in the extra protein months after surgery. this stuff also taste bad and is like motor oil going down.
