Hi - I have to say I have not come across this before but sounds good. I looked it up on the web and this is the description:

preOp is a Food for Special Medical Purposes for use under medical supervision. preOp is a 0.5kcal/ml, clear, non-carbonated, lemon flavoured, iso-osmolar carbohydrate drink. preOp is designed to switch patients from a fasted to a fed state prior to surgery. It has been shown to moderate metabolic responses to surgery, improve well-being, decrease post-operative insulin resistance and attenuate loss of lean body mass. preOp is presented in a 200ml carton.

Good luck for your upcoming op x x
