Drinking protein shakes and taking multivitamins up until a week before surgery. Is this ok?

KarenInfo
My PS told me to stop all multivitamins and protein shakes and bars 2 weeks prior to surgery. I totally flaked out and realized that i have a week until my surgery and have been drinking shakes and taking multivitamins. What does this do to my body in regards to the surgery? Do I need to re schedule?
