The answer to your question is different for each individual. Some people require protein shakes for life, while others are able to get enough protein from their diet without it. You really should consult a nutritionist to see what your dietary needs are. I would say, that for most people, they PROBABLY can discontinue protein shakes after a few months out, but then, I am not an expert on nutrition. I urge you to speak with a professional to get a more accurate answer using the information that you provide to the specialist. I hope this helps.
