Protein: From Food vs Protein Shakes Post-surgery
Hi everyone–
I’m fairly new to this group. I’m in the wait, wait, wait period
before surgery gets scheduled. Probably in the spring. So I’m using
this time to research and educate myself and learn as much as I can.
I posted this question to another group and got a few good responses
but I’m still looking for more. My surgeon is of the mindset that
protein should come from food. I have a lot of information so far
that protein shakes are invaluable. So I’m looking for a website or
research that compares the two approaches. Or even information that
supports getting protein from food– I’m already leaning toward the
shakes but I like to read both sides of things to make a decision.
Rny-Proximal — I’m wondering if type of surgery has a bearing on
assimilation of protein.
Has anyone been through a nutritional program that focuses on getting
protein from food post-surgery? Can you say a little about it?
Thanks,
Debra
