The objective is to determine the impact of taking a specialized form of carbohydrate in the immediate preoperative period on metabolic markers, surgical outcomes and patient health. Patients will be randomized to receive a specialized sports drink or a standard sports drink. Patients will have a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) placed on their upper arm to measure glucose throughout surgery and during the post-operative period.
