Weight loss surgeries are becoming more common as the health advantages unfold. However, post-op protein dietary guidelines are needed to maximise these benefits.

Moreover, surgical complications are rare. However, vitamin, mineral and protein deficiencies may develop, and there are no evidence-based dietary recommendations for use during calorie restriction.
