Labne: Labne cheese is a good source of protein, vitamin A, folic acid, calcium, and phosphorus. However, since their oil content is generally high, it is beneficial to choose the light ones.

Protein powder: Due to the decreased stomach volume after bariatric surgery, especially in the first weeks, problems such as sagging due to muscle loss, hair loss, nail breakage, drying of the skin, weakness, fatigue may occur due to lack of adequate protein, vitamin and mineral intake. For this reason, protein powder is recommended to be consumed for an average of 3-6 months.
