What protein shakes can I have after gastric sleeve?

Doctors and health professionals alike recommend Protein Milkshake as it aligns with the universal recommendation for a post-op liquid diet after gastric bypass surgery. As a guideline, it is a key requirement the first week post-op recovery that all bariatric patients follow a liquid diet. Protein Milkshake's organic protein powder and vegan protein powder consists of the requirements needed for your liquid diet, containing 22 grams of protein per serving, and has no unhealthy additives or sugars. 

Can I have protein shakes after gastric bypass?

In the first several months of post-op gastric sleeve surgery, a full liquid diet must be followed, which is why most health professionals will recommend liquid protein supplements, especially protein powders, as a bariatric protein milk shake will give you the nutritional value you need in order to meet your nutrition needs daily. Liquid protein supplements such as shakes and powders are the easiest to take in right after surgery. After the first two to three months (timeline depends on your doctor) you can incorporate traditional protein and food back into your diet- however, many of our bariatric and gastric sleeve customers continue to use Protein Milkshake as a meal replacement twice a day as it is an easy and convenient source of protein and nutrition.   

How many protein shakes a day after gastric sleeve?
