High-Protein Foods, Shakes & Snacks

Q: How do I get enough protein after bariatric surgery?

Most people combine shakes, shots and high-protein foods so each small meal counts. Your surgeon or dietitian will give you a daily protein target to aim for.

Q: What is the most compact way to get protein?

Liquid protein shots and 1 oz packets give you protein in a very small volume, which helps when your stomach holds little.

Q: Which protein products work on a low-carb diet?

Many bars, chips, powders and breads in this collection are tagged low carb. Check each label for carbs and sugar per serving.

About Protein

Protein is the first thing most bariatric programs ask you to track. This collection brings every protein product in the store together: bars, chips, cookies and cakes, powders and tubs, ready-to-drink shakes, meal replacements, liquid protein and high-protein breads. If you need protein in a different form, you will likely find it here.

How to choose

Your diet stage: shots, shakes and powders for liquid stages, and bars, chips and breads for regular textures.
Protein per serving: shots here include 25g and 30g options, so check each label.
Volume: 1 oz liquid protein packets like LiquaCel and LPS give you protein in very little liquid.
Diet tags: many items are tagged low carb or gluten free.

Many people mix formats through the day, such as a shake at breakfast, a protein snack in the afternoon and a high-protein meal at dinner. Your surgeon or dietitian will set your daily protein target.

Popular picks at BariatricPal include Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder Packets, Inspire High Protein Bars and Built Bar Protein Puffs.
