HERE ARE SOME CHOICES FOR PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS

Patients who have had weight loss surgery need to maintain their protein intake.  An intake of about 60-80 grams of protein daily is a good goal.  Most of the supplements are whey protein based which is milk protein.  Some examples of products are the following: (Note I do not recommend any specific product, you should sample different types and see which one you like)

IDS whey liquid protein bullets:  3.1 oz   42 gms of protein   176 calories

Isopure whey protein drinks:  20 oz    40 gms of protein     170 calories

EAS whey protein products   1 scoop of powder    23 gms of protein    120 calories


There are many other products on the market and most are similar with different additives to change flavor or consistency.  Most powders taste better if mixed in skim milk and this adds some calories about 90 for 8 oz of skim milk and some more protein.

Do not buy large quantities until you taste each product.
