The role of whey protein supplementation after one-anastomosis gastric bypass: Results of a double-blind randomized controlled trial
Background
Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is an effective intervention for morbid obesity. Yet, rapid weight loss often indicates the early postoperative period, which can include substantial reductions in lean body mass. One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) is being used more frequently; however, data on the postoperative effects of whey protein supplementation in this specific procedure are still limited.
Objective
This double-blind, randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to investigate the effects of whey protein supplementation on weight loss, body composition, and nutritional markers in patients undergoing OAGB.
Methods
Seventy-eight participants (BMI 40–50 kg/m2) undergoing primary OAGB were randomized to receive either daily pure whey protein (2 × 15 g scoops; ∼22.6 g protein/day) or a visually identical placebo for three months. Anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance analysis (body composition), and laboratory assessments were performed at baseline (preoperative) and 1 and 3 months postoperatively. Standard multivitamins and mineral supplementation were provided to all participants. Adherence was monitored through diaries and regular follow-up calls.
Results
Both groups demonstrated significant weight loss and improved fasting blood glucose, HbA1C, and lipid profiles three months post-surgery. No significant differences between groups emerged in total weight loss percentage or key nutritional markers (e.g., albumin). However, the whey protein group exhibited significantly lower reductions in fat-free mass, muscle mass, and total body water compared to the placebo group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
In patients undergoing OAGB, whey protein supplementation did not substantially alter total weight loss or biochemical markers within three months; however, it did help preserve lean body mass. While cost and adherence remain potential barriers, whey protein supplementation may offer a practical, tolerable option to support muscle mass retention in the early postoperative period.

期刊介绍:
Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is an electronic-only journal and is an official publication of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN). Nutrition and nutritional care have gained wide clinical and scientific interest during the past decades. The increasing knowledge of metabolic disturbances and nutritional assessment in chronic and acute diseases has stimulated rapid advances in design, development and clinical application of nutritional support. The aims of ESPEN are to encourage the rapid diffusion of knowledge and its application in the field of clinical nutrition and metabolism. Published bimonthly, Clinical Nutrition ESPEN focuses on publishing articles on the relationship between nutrition and disease in the setting of basic science and clinical practice. Clinical Nutrition ESPEN is available to all members of ESPEN and to all subscribers of Clinical Nutrition.
