Three and a half years post op one month old baby! Breastfeeding concerns.

I am wanting to start dropping the weight I gained with my baby and would like to start back on my protien shakes. I am concerned about the affects that too much protien may have on my breastmilk.I would appreciate hearing from anyone with first hand experience with breastfeeding after wls. Also did anyone have trouble producing enough breastmilk to satisfy your baby at each feeding? I have been in contact with lactation specialists in my area but they are all "unfamiliar" with wls and its affects on breastfeeding. Right now I am nursing as often as possible but my baby still seems hungry after most feedings so I end up having to suppliment with formula. I was told this was not harmful for her but I really wanted to breastfeed exclusively. Thanks for any help in advance!
