anybody heard of advanced recovery programme for operations

[bednobs]

Hi going in to have a hip replacement next monday and went to the preop assessment clinic today. they have put me in this "advanced recovery programme" whereby i have to drink 4 high calorie drinks in the afternoon before the op and then 2 on the morning of the op. the clinic told me that it is proven to improve recovery. Has anyone heard this before, or any links to the research behind it?
