The Vis Advantage: Can a Pre-Surgery Drink Really Make a Difference?

If you’re gearing up for surgery, you might be asking yourself: can a pre-surgery drink really make an impact? Enter Vis—a pre-surgery nutritional drink formulated to do much more than just give you an energy boost. Vis is designed to prime your body at a cellular level, helping you step into surgery as ready as possible.

Surgery is tough on the body. Nutrients are quickly depleted, blood sugar can spike and drop, and your immune system may take a hit. Vis is packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and carbohydrates chosen to support your body through these challenges. The science is clear: giving your body the right nutrition before surgery can make a noticeable difference.

So why is this approach catching on? Unlike fasting, which can leave patients dizzy, dehydrated, and running on empty, a pre-surgery drink like Vis helps stabilize your blood sugar and hydration levels before the procedure. Research shows that patients who are better nourished going into surgery often experience shorter hospital stays, recover faster, and have fewer issues like nausea and fatigue post-op. Vis was developed to align with guidelines from the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society, which promotes a proactive approach to surgery prep.

Here’s how Vis works to support you:

• Stabilized Blood Sugar: Carefully selected ingredients keep your blood sugar steady, preventing those energy crashes that can happen before surgery.
• Reduced Inflammation: Anti-inflammatory nutrients support a healthier response to surgical stress, helping you bounce back faster.
• Stronger Immune Function: With immune-supportive nutrients, Vis can help your body resist infections and other complications.
• Cognitive Support: Certain ingredients are chosen to reduce brain fog and memory issues that can occur post-op—especially beneficial for older adults.

One of the biggest perks of Vis? It’s crafted to be safe alongside anesthesia and other medications commonly used during surgery. Vis is colorless, easy to digest, and free from ingredients that might upset your stomach or interfere with the anesthesia. Patients on specific medications should consult their doctor, but for most people, Vis is a convenient and trusted option.

Switching from the old-school fasting model to a more supportive approach reflects new insights into what the body needs to stay resilient during surgery. Instead of feeling depleted, you enter surgery nourished and ready, often leading to fewer complications and a smoother recovery. Vis is a simple, yet powerful way to give your body a leg up, turning a stressful experience into a more manageable one.

If you’re preparing for surgery, Vis offers an easy, science-backed way to support your body. With Vis, you’re setting yourself up for a stronger, quicker recovery—so you can get back to feeling like yourself sooner.
