Question:
How long does a person have to drink protein shakes?

Do you have to stay on them or another protein suppliment the rest of your life? and how are the shakes that Wal-Mart sells? are they gross or are they ok and what flavors taste best    — Grace H. (posted on June 2, 2002)

I watcher my protein real close for the 1st year, then I make sure that I eat my meat first in a meal so I know I get my protein. There are many different was you can get protein too! I drank slim fast it is higher in sugar but it was the only thing that I could drink like that. You will become very knowledgeable about protein and your body will tell you what you need. Good luck and happy protein.

I will be on them as long as I want to hold my goal wt. Should I want to gain, I could stop and I would gain shortly. They do more for me than JUST provide 100% of my protein. They help give me that appetite control that I might not have without help. I remain well nourished, so I'm not subject to cravings. As long as my surgery remains intact, I will need my protein. But in addition, I also CHOOSE to do it.
