If you knew that there was a company that would make you healthy by drinking a shake every morning and would pay you for telling your friends how good their products made you feel, would you?

After gastric bypass or lap-band surgery, proper nutrition is as important as ever. When using Isagenix products, here are a few things you should know.  

You can take full advantage of the nutrients provided by Isagenix products as long as the products chosen adhere to the dietary guidelines given by your doctor.

While many of our products can help serve your nutritional needs after surgery, we encourage you make special considerations for impaired protein, vitamin B12 and mineral absorption. Products to consider would be IsaLean Shake (in small serving sizes) for its high content of protein and balanced nutrition, Essentials for Women/Men for minerals and vitamin B12, and IsaCalcium for calcium in form of lactate-gluconate. Please note that Isagenix does not carry iron supplements due to varying individual needs; however, women may need to supplementat with iron after surgery.
