Do I have to stop taking Shakeology prior to surgery? (photos)

Question

I drink Beach Body's Shakeology shakes for lunch every day, but I'm wondering if I need to stop drinking them prior to my mommy makeover (TT and BL) in two weeks. I've attached an image of the ingredients

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  I believe that all of the ingredients in Shakeology are safe for surgery, but the best idea would be to send the nutritional label to your surgeon so that they can ensure that there aren't any supplements that may cause issue with either anesthesia or bleeding during surgery.  Hope that this helps.

Steven J. Rottman, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  I think it is safest to send the list of contents to your plastic surgeon to review. Every surgeon has a different protocol, before and after surgery, so it is best to check with your chosen one. Hope this helps and good luck with your procedure.

Since every surgeon has his or her own unique pre-op protocol, you need to run this ingredient list by your surgeon. My best,

If you were my patient - YES! But best to ask your chosen surgeon these questions!!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Anh Lee, MD, FACS · Answer

It would be best to show this to your PS and ask what her/his opinion is.  These shakes and supplements (preworkout and fat burners) are not FDA regulated and may contain ingredients that could cause adverse effects when mixed with the anesthesia and pain meds.  Good luck!
