What is SurgiFuel™ Pre-Op? A food supplement that is a source of protein, for the two weeks before surgery.

Who Formulated It?

A nutrition laboratory worked out the formulation for the run-up to an operation. It isn't a gym shake repurposed for surgery.

Built Around Your Pre-Op Window

Your body draws on different reserves the week before an operation than it does the week after. SurgiFuel™ Pre-Op is formulated for that specific window, not adapted from a general sports blend.

It is a food supplement, not a medicine, meant to sit alongside whatever your surgical team has already told you to do before your procedure, never in place of it.

Frequently asked questions

A pre-surgery protein shake is a food supplement formulated to support the specific nutritional needs of the weeks before a planned operation. SurgiFuel™ Pre-Op is developed with a nutrition laboratory for exactly that window, rather than adapted from a general sports or meal-replacement shake.

Timing depends on your own procedure and health, so always follow the advice your surgical team gives you. SurgiFuel™ Pre-Op is formulated for the weeks leading up to an operation, and it sits alongside that advice rather than replacing it.

Read our complete guide to nutrition around surgery for more, or take our questions to ask your surgical team to your appointment.

Neither. It’s a food supplement, not a medicine, and it isn’t intended to prevent, treat or cure any condition. It’s designed to sit alongside whatever your surgical team has already told you to do before your operation.

One 50 g serving of SurgiFuel™ Pre-Op has 9.8 g of protein and 171 kcal. The 100 g daily portion, which is two servings, has 20 g of protein. It is a food supplement, so it adds to your food and does not replace it. The full nutrition table is in the pack labels section on our home page.
