Prehabilitation Intervention

The intervention involves a 3-week prehabilitation program during the participant's preoperative window before cancer surgery. During the intervention, patients will be asked to consume 60 grams of walnuts daily, participate in two 60-minute individualized supervised physical activity training sessions per week, meet with a nutritionist for a 30-60 minute session, and conduct 30 minutes of independent walking per day. The participants will be given pre-portioned walnuts for daily consumption, a pedometer, and educational materials. The participants will track their completion of tasks with a daily log and the study coordinator will also track their attendance at scheduled nutrition and fitness sessions. In addition, the study coordinator will check-in with participants twice weekly and send text reminders about their required activities.
