After weight loss surgery, doctors aren't sure how much protein patients should eat to keep their muscles healthy and strong. This study will follow about 75 people before and after their surgery to measure changes in muscle strength, body composition, and protein needs. By understanding these relationships better, researchers hope to develop clearer nutrition guidelines for surgery patients.
Current protein recommendations after weight loss surgery are based on limited scientific evidence. This study exists to fill that gap by collecting real data on how protein intake actually affects muscle function and metabolism in people recovering from surgery.

You will be recruited from a bariatric surgery clinic and will likely have measurements taken before and after your surgery, including body composition scans, muscle strength tests (like a handgrip test), and dietary assessments. The study will track your nutrition intake and physical changes over time to understand how protein affects your recovery. Specific visit schedules and duration are not detailed in this summary, so you would need to contact the research team for those details.
