Plan
Obtain adequate daily protein intake (1.5 - 2 g/kg/day) no matter what your BMI or body weight. This is important for muscle growth before surgery and for stockpiling the amino acid building blocks required for healing after surgery.
Maintain or increase muscle mass and strength. This is a shared goal with the fitness program.
Maintain hydration and adequate intake of healthy foods, vitamins and minerals. This supports the fitness program and muscle growth, improves mental health and sleep, and assures the best function of your immune system.
Minimize dehydration and starvation during the pre-operative fasting period before surgery.
Supplement your daily food intake with high protein oral nutritional supplements (ONS) or protein powder for 1-2 weeks before your surgical date. Use more if unable to reach your suggested daily protein goals with normal food.
