Can I ever reduce me protein supplement?

I am seven months post gastric bypass surgery and doing very well, having lost 85 pounds now.  Can I ever lower the amount of protein supplement that I take every day?  I take 50grams, but I heard somewhere that after awhile, when not losing so fast, I can reduce the protein.  Is that true?

You didn't answer my question.  Can I EVER reduce the protien?  (I currently take 50 grams of supplements (shakes, etc) plus the protein that I eat in food.)

you need to increase your protein intake
aim for 60-100gm a day
try shakes such as Isopur or Ultrapur - go to GNC to find them
