It is important to begin a “protein routine” before surgery. Healthy people need a minimum of 0.8 grams of protein per kg of body weight each day (55 grams/150lbs person). However, for weight loss, better blood sugar management, and with intense exercise, more protein is recommended.
The American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons (ASMBS) recommends a minimum of 60-80 grams of protein per day initially after surgery, however newer research indicated that bariatric patients may need 1.5 - 2.0g/kg of body weight after surgery.
Here's a good daily protein goal that is easy to remember: 30-30-30, 30 grams of protein 3 times each day. That is 90 grams of protein spread out evenly throughout the day. This will give you 2.5 grams of leucine at each mealtime, which is one of the most important amino acid - building blocks for muscle.
Bariatric patients can lose up to 25% of their lean body mass during rapid weight loss after surgery. Getting high-quality protein each day can help you maintain your muscle mass which is important because that affects your metabolism. If you lose too much muscle, maintaining your weight will be harder in the long term. High-Quality Protein + Strength Exercise is the best way to maintain or build muscle for metabolic health.
To maintain muscle mass and keep your metabolism healthy, you need high-quality protein. Whey protein isolate is one of the very best protein sources for bariatric patients after surgery. It has all the amino acids (building blocks) that your muscle needs to stay healthy after surgery. Remember: healthy muscle equals healthy metabolism.
