Doc says I don't need to worry about the protien supplements.

I am 8 1/2 wks post op from RNY, and have lost 52 lbs so far. I feel good, and have not had any problems. I saw my doc for a check up and I told him I have not been drinking the protien stuff since my surgery, but had now started on more regular foods. I expressed concern over not taking in enough protien and he told me not to worry about it now that I was eating regular foods. However, I am concerned, as I see on the website that everyone needs additional protien. Has anyone not taken the additional protien? How did it affect you by not having it. I am not eating much for meats, but I do drink 8 ozs of Boost HP per day. Is this really enough?
