Post-Op complete kit

The goal of bariatric surgery is to achieve a healthy weight loss by losing fat while maintaining muscle mass.

VITALEPH´s bariatric post-operative package includes macronutrients, micronutrients, and nutraceuticals to promote gastrointestinal functions, maximize weight loss and optimize nutritional and overall health status.

After surgery, metabolic processes increase nutritional demands which are difficult to meet through food intake alone. The ASMBS and major medical and nutritional societies recommend supplementation to prevent nutritional deficiencies, hence the nutritional therapeutic target is the maximum absorption of diverse nutrients with the lowest calorie content. 

The Post-op package includes: 

• VITALEPH´s protein shakes to ensure proper healing and preserve muscle mass in the midst of calorie restriction. From cows not treated with rBGH and without added sugar or artificial sweeteners. Double verified GLUTEN FREE. BPA-free container. Vanilla flavor has 18 servings per container. The chocolate flavor has 16 servings per container. 
  Most bariatric programs recommend a daily intake of 60g to 80g in a day. 
• VITALEPH´s Essential nutrition multi -easy to swallow-, double verified gluten-free. 
• VITALEPH´s probiotics help promote digestion and absorption of nutrients and, improve immune health. 
• Ca+D3, with citrate calcium -the best absorbable form of calcium- and vitamin D3 for bone health. 
• Liquid B-12, necessary for nerve tissue and carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism.
