Protein and exercise after bariatric surgery: a Muscle-Saving combo?
NCT ID NCT07156552
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether taking daily protein supplements and doing resistance exercises (like lifting weights) can prevent too much muscle loss after bariatric surgery. About 400 patients will be randomly assigned to either standard care or standard care plus the protein and exercise program. The goal is to see if the extra support helps people lose more fat and less muscle.
