Before Surgery, we will:
+ Meet twice – 2 weeks before surgery and and 1-3 days before surgery
+ We will outline a plan for nutrition leading up to surgery by making sure you have a strategy to hit protein goals each day, and adding conditionally essential amino acids to your diet.
+ 1-2 days before surgery we will discuss how nutrition can play a role in recovery in the immediate days following surgery, and make sure you have everything you need and your support set up for those first couple days post surgery
After Surgery, we will:
+ After your initial rest period, we will meet one final time to check in on progress, usually around 1 week post-op.
+ In this post-op time period, we will focus on protein intake and conditionally essential amino acids each day, while adding anti-inflammatory foods and supplements to help with recovery.
Nutrition is often overlooked as a part of the surgical process, but has been scientifically shown to help improve outcomes, including reducing risk for surgical site infections. Alayna has over 7 years of experience working within the hospital system helping to optimize nutrition during the surgical process. Unfortunately, most hospitals don’t have the resources to support their patients with targeted nutrition therapy.
The Enhanced Nutrition Recovery Package (Surgery) is $225. Be sure to note your surgical date when booking.
