Summary

This study is testing whether a special nutrition shake given after surgery can help older adults (70+) regain physical and mental function faster. Half of the 100 participants will receive the shake daily for 30 days, while the other half will follow standard recovery advice. The goal is to gather data to plan a larger, more definitive trial.
