SurgiFuel™ is a pair of food supplement shakes from Nutrition for Surgery: Pre-Op, a source of protein for the two weeks before an operation, and Post-Op, high in protein for the two weeks after.
Neither. Nutrition for Surgery is a food supplement. It sits alongside the advice your surgical team gives you around an operation, rather than replacing it, and it isn’t intended to prevent, treat or cure any condition.
The Pre-Op shake is formulated for the weeks before your operation, and the Post-Op shake for the two weeks after your operation — two different formulations for two different jobs, each in its own colour-coded pack.
Mix two scoops (50g) into about 300ml of water or milk, twice a day. One 1.4kg pack gives 28 servings, which is 14 days. Follow the advice of your surgical team alongside it.
SurgiFuel™ is coming soon on Amazon. Use the Buy on Amazon button on this page once it’s live.
