This study aims to assess the feasibility of a 2-week dietary whole-food smoothie intervention and compare outcomes between two groups: patients that integrated a daily whole food plant-based smoothie into their diet for two weeks prior to surgery, and a control group of revision TKA patients that made no nutritional changes to their diet prior to surgery. The main research questions are: 1. Among patients planned for elective TKA revision surgery, what is the feasibility of a 2-week dietary intervention implemented 2 weeks prior to surgery? \[Outcomes will be compliance, noted barriers and/or facilitators, satisfaction with diet\] 2. Determine if the implementation of a daily whole food plant- based smoothie dietary supplement 2 weeks prior to TKA revision surgery will reduce inflammation -measured in plasma levels of IL-6 and CRP- at POD0, POD1, POD2, POD3, and 6 Weeks Post-operative as compared to 1) baseline (prior to dietary intervention initiation) and 2) control patients who did not make changes in their diet prior to surgery. 3. Determine if the implementation of a daily whole food plant-based smoothie dietary supplement 2 weeks prior to TKA revision surgery will result in quantifiable changes in the gut microbiome composition -measured via fecal samples- as compared to control patients who did not make changes in their diet prior to surgery. 4. Determine if the implementation of a daily whole food plant- based smoothie dietary supplement 2 weeks prior to TKA revision surgery will result in improved immediate postoperative pain -measured through numeric rating scale (NRS) pain scores- and opioid use -measured in morphine milligram equivalents (MME)- as compared to control patients. 5. Compare patient satisfaction and adoption of nutritional behavioral changes in patients implementing a whole food plant-based smoothie 2 weeks prior to TKA revision surgery to patients undergoing the same surgery but did not me pre-surgery dietary changes. The researcher's primary outcome is measuring feasibility and patient compliance with smoothie consumption. Secondarily, the investigators are interested in measuring if the preoperative smoothie can alter the gut microbiome and decrease systemic inflammation, leading to lowered post-operative pain and opioid use.
