Protein Supplements After surgery, as you adjust to your new, smaller stomach, it will take some time before you are able to eat a complete diet with adequate protein. Because of this, you will need to add protein supplements to your diet. These supplements come in the form of premade shakes, protein water, and powders. If you are vegetarian or vegan, your dietitian can tell you which products are best for you.
