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:
TAKE FEWER PILLS!
VITALEPH Whey Protein. Depending on your weight loss goals, you may include a cup of fruit. |
Have 1 or 2 a day as a meal replacement; or as needed to help meet daily protein intake. |

Probiotics | 1/2 teaspoon; sprinkle or sitr into food or beverage of choice |
B-12 | 1 full dropper |
Ca+D3 | Take 1 capsule in between meals, twice a day. It should be taken 2 hours apart from the multivitamin for improved absorption. |
