In this episode of We Got Your Number, Dr. Alexandra Filingeri and Dr. Thomas Romo break down how nutrition can directly impact surgical recovery, healing, inflammation, and long-term health.

From preparing your body before surgery to knowing what to eat after, this conversation covers protein, hydration, supplements, GLP-1 medications, body composition, and why real food matters more than quick fixes.

Key Topics:
• Pre- and post-operative nutrition
• Why protein is critical for healing
• Supplements to avoid before surgery
• Hydration after anesthesia
•GLP-1 medications and surgical risks
• Body composition vs. weight loss
• Nutrition for kids, adults, and aging patients

Healing starts before surgery. The better you fuel your body, the better you set yourself up for recovery.
