Nutrition + recovery
Give your body something to work with.

Protein
Protein provides building blocks your body uses to maintain muscle and repair tissue.
Hydration
Staying hydrated supports normal body function and helps your body do the work of recovery.

More about nutrition + recovery
Why protein matters
Protein provides amino acids your body uses to maintain muscle and repair tissue. Around surgery, when nutritional demands increase, getting enough protein becomes especially important.
When appetite or routine changes
Surgery and recovery can disrupt normal eating habits. Having easy, nutrient-dense options available can make it easier to keep nourishing your body when your usual routine is off.
Hydration
Staying hydrated supports normal body function and is an important part of preparing for and recovering from surgery.
