My doc says protein for life...I hear on here that is not so.

I read these questions and answers every day and I get so much info. Problem is that where I live (WA state) my doc says that we will need to supplement protein for life. I am having open proximal on Aug 13 and have been told that I must take in 60g of protein drinks a day. That is only 2 shakes and I have been doing that to prepare for surgery anyways so I am not worried about that. But I hear so many people saying they only have to do protein supps for the first few months or first year. Why is there such a different in medical opinion? Any of your answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much and sorry so winded. Michelle
