What To Understand About Bariatric Friendly Protein Shakes

By Ines Flores


When any type of surgery is done, one wants to be sure that they are getting the right amount of nutrition in a form that is easily absorbed by the body. This means that a person should incorporate bariatric friendly protein shakes which have everything the body needs. This article will look at the various components of these shakes and how one can make it work in their diet.

Since this is a surgery that makes the stomach smaller, one will naturally eat less food than they usually would. One also has to eat the right foods in the right form that will allow the body to heal. To do this, a liquid diet that is high in protein should be consumed in place of regular meals. Protein helps to provide energy in addition to helping the body to heal.

The protein part of the shake is usually in the form of a high quality protein powder of some kind. One can also add milk, fresh cheeses like ricotta or cottage cheese, and tofu. These additional ingredients help to make the drink richer and provide ample amount of energy. These foods are also have all of the amino acids which makes them complete.

Another component to the smoothie is fruit which should be fresh. This could be fruit that is in season and that one really likes. Some prefer to use frozen fruits since these are usually prepared and ready to use. Sometimes canned fruits can be used but it is important to read the labels to be sure there is no additional sugar added. Additional sweeteners can be used, but are not usually necessary.

For some, the sweetness from fruits are not enough to satisfy their palate. In this case one can use low calorie sweeteners that will provide the sweet taste one craves but without the calories. As with everything else, it is important to know if these types of sweeteners agree with one's body or not. Not all low calorie sweeteners are created in the same manner.

Fiber is also important since one does not want to create pressure when using the bathroom. This is especially true when a person has recently undergone an operation, since it is important not to make a delicate situation worse. There are a number of supplements that can be used to accomplish this, but a person should choose one that they like.

For extra fat and the soluble nutrients that come with it, nut butters make a great addition. They also help to create additional texture to the drink. Butters from nuts are better than using whole nuts because they are already in a creamy form. Many times the regular nuts do not grind completely and this might not be pleasant for some people.

In addition to the above, one should also consider their preferences for certain foods and if there are substitutions that can be made. If one lives in the city of Kernersville, NC, there are health food stores that one can visit to purchase ingredients they can use. However, one should always check with their physician before making a decision.
