Why is it so important to take Protein supplements???

I know it's important for our health and well-being and all. But when I had surgery I asked my surgeon if he recommended any protein supplements as a post-op. He told me no, but when I had blood work done at my 6month mark, if I needed it, then i could take them. I am now 7 months post-op and when I had my bloodwork done everything was normal! I'm not a big meat eater and I haven't focused that past 7months on "protein first". So how could everything come out normal? Am I just lucky? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I don't have to take supplements. But just curious if anyone else is like me? 7mos post op around 160#'s, -102#'s sizes 10/12
