Has anyone had ensure on there 5 day post op

I was told to use Protein shakes with at least 20g of protein.

Most of the Ensure products only have 12g of protein, however they do make a high protein version of Ensure that has 25g of protein.

So, if you can find the high protein Ensure and you like it, I say go for it.

How much Protein does your surgeon wAnt u to take in? Because the ensure that has 26 G protein has 350 calories..

My dr wanted me to take in 100g that would have been like 1400 calories when he only wanted me to have about 1000..

Oh wow, I didn't realize the high protein ensure had that many calories! YIKES!

Thanks for catching that

The ensure shake I have is 9g of protein and 250 calories. So is this not a good idea.

It doesn't seem like such a good idea because you not going to be getting enough Protein... There are many low-cal high protein Meal Replacement powders out there that linger around 130-150 calories.. It's trial and error to find one u like
