  • Good nutrition can offer enhanced recovery after surgery by minimising surgical stress and assisting with recovery.
  • Making sure that you have good nutrition pre- and post- major surgery can assist to preserve muscle and the resulting loss of strength.
  • Pre-operative nutrition builds up adequate energy stores to prepare the body for the stress of surgery.

Post-operative nutrition reduces loss of lean mass and facilitates rapid healing and recovery.

  • Whey Protein Isolate is considered one of the highest quality protein sources.
  • Milk protein isolate is a high in (at least 90 %) protein supplement made from skim milk that contains a blend of casein and whey proteins.
  • Soy is considered one of the highest quality plant sources of protein.

Vitamins, minerals, omega-3 fatty acids and fibre are also important for overall health and recovery.

Nutritional supplements provide nutrition in a concentrated form, that is often more easily digested, absorbed, and a more effective form of nutrient delivery, making them ideal, especially for the hours leading up to surgery.

In hours post-surgery, you can lose your appetite which makes eating solid foods and consuming sufficient protein difficult therefore, a nutritional shake works especially well after surgery.
