Summary

This study looks at whether a special nutrition shake can help frail older adults recover their strength and thinking abilities after major surgery. Half of the 100 participants will receive the shake daily for 30 days after surgery, while the other half will get standard recovery advice. The goal is to gather data to plan a larger trial, not to prove a treatment works yet.
