Ensure Pre-Surgery, Clear Carbohydrate Drink, Strawberry, 10 fl oz, 4 Count

These things helped save me during my pancreas and liver flare ups. Low sugar, good amount of carbs and calories that are much needed!

This stuff is invaluable if you can't eat for days before surgery like I had to. It kept me strong while I wasn't allowed to eat for 50 hours.

I actually like the taste of the strawberry variant! I recently had back-to-back spinal fusion surgeries, so I got well-acquainted with this drink. It was required for me to consume 2 hours pre-surgery. I can't speak to how it helped my surgery or recovery, but I did survive both surgeries without difficult during and post-op.

It’s so disgustingly sweet, but I know it’s supposed to be. So hold your nose and drink it down real fast. Kind of reminds me of a glucose test drink. Thick consistency. Definitely drink it cold!And this is coming from somebody who is a pastry chef… Lol it’s even sweet for me

I have had many surgeries, and for most of them I’ve just made sure to hydrate well the night before, but I was having a surgery a few months ago that was planned far enough in advance for me to get this, so I did. It’s delicious. It tastes like strawberry milk, if I recall correctly. I’ve never been able to tolerate normal Ensure because of the taste, but I’ve had Ensure Clear many times and it just tastes like juice with a slightly weird aftertaste and astringency. This is definitely the best tasting Ensure in my opinion.

I only needed one of these drinks, but it came in a pack of four. The product was exactly as described and had the nutrients I needed prior to surgery. It was easy to drink and had a fizzy taste to it. The sugar content was low, and it prevented me from getting sick after surgery.
