Recommended nutritional drinks

I need to start one of those drinks 5 days before my surgery at home and have a choice of several to buy and I think all of them or most of them are high in sugar. I’m just interested in which one tastes the best since I’ll be drinking a couple a day starting next week. Surgery (total colon removal with permanent ileostomy) on December 21. Thanks for any help.

The "Ensure" chocolate is my favorite, quite tasty.
Be sure to shake them vigorously, there's always a layer of sediment on the bottom.
The VA has cut me back from 2 per day to 1.
Best wishes for your upcoming surgery.
Not sure which tastes the best, but a lot better cold--I think.
Good luck with procedure, -going on 30+ years and no regret. (due to UC )
There’s 1 gram of sugar in Premier.

I agree there are several to choose from. When I had an ileostomy for 2 1\2 years I preferred Boost high protein. If you have to watch sugar content there is Glucerna but I never tried it. Best Wishes on your procedure. The hospital should have an ostomy nurse to help you.
