One of my favorites Whey Protein

I am 5 months post VSG surgery and this is one of my favorite Whey proteins out there! It’s so good and has a bunch of flavor options. Getting protein in is one of the hardest parts about bariatric surgery so it’s important to find something you like.

Do you have a favorite?

💌 Brand: @1Up Nutrition

After bariatric surgery, maintaining adequate protein intake is crucial for recovery and overall health. Whey protein can be an excellent choice due to its high-quality protein content and ease of digestibility. One brand that stands out is 1Up Nutrition, known for its diverse flavors like Banana Twist and Caramel Toffee. Such flavorful options can make it easier for individuals to meet their dietary requirements while enjoying their meals. It's also important to explore different brands and types, such as whey isolate and protein blends, to find the one that suits your taste and dietary needs best. Engaging in #vsgsurgery forums can provide further recommendations and insights from fellow VSG patients on how to effectively incorporate protein into your diet post-surgery. Join the community, share your experiences, and support each other during this transformative journey.
