Ok...I was on Body By Vi before sleeve. So my question is...if I could handle those shakes for the rest of my life I might not have quit the Body By Vi....I hate shakes daily!! From what I am reading I will be on shakes the rest of my life in order to get Protein in??

Your nutritionist should give you a list of Protein grams in common foods. At some point, we should be able to cut down the shakes to one or none but this is basically going to be an Atkins type lifestyle.

You should be getting in Protein any which way you can. If you can't do the shakes, try Isopure or a plain Protein Powder mixed in with Crystal light or coffee or whatever. People drink the shakes because they're a good source of protein to help us achieve a daily protein goal.

You do not need to be on shakes for the rest of your life, just till you get to the point you can get enough Protein daily without them. I am on my puree stage and have already cut out shakes because I can hit my protein numbers with the food I eat. As long as you get enough protein daily it doesn't matter how you get it. Hope this helps, good luck.
