Nutrition to help prepare and recover from Surgery

Being in the best shape possible before surgery decreases the risk of complications and improves your recovery. Many surgical teams follow special protocols called ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) that are designed to help you do just that. ERAS usually includes a special nutritional drink that you should start before your surgery. Please talk to your team about ERAS, and which of these drinks you should use. Protein shakes are also important to make sure your body has enough protein for faster healing.
