Is whey protein a good protein choice following bariatric weight loss surgery?
Following bariatric surgery it is important to follow a special diet designed by a physician and/or nutrition professional. Protein plays an essential role in that diet as it is the primary food source following surgery. Inadequate amounts may contribute to hair loss, muscle loss, and poor skin tone. Whey protein isolate is an excellent protein choice post surgery as it is very easy to digest and efficiently absorbed into the body. It doesn’t sit in the stomach for long periods of time like beef and other protein foods that may upset the system. For recipe suggestions click here.
