Can I have protein powder after bariatric surgery?

Your Personalized Protein Blend should be safe to use after bariatric surgery, but you should talk to your doctor first.

Protein supplements are incredibly common following weight loss surgeries to help meet increased protein needs for healing and to keep calories controlled while still getting in a good amount of nutrients.

You may need to vary the amount of liquid you use and sip the shake over a longer period of time due to decreased gastric capacity. Generally, very small and frequent meals including high quality protein is the intended diet, at least for a certain amount of time following surgery.
