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.
My Mayo team recommended Premier Protein with 30 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar. It’s tasty and dresses up nicely as a smoothie with
banana/strawberries/coffee.

I like the Premier Protein chocolate... only 1 gram of sugar compared to 10 grams in the Ensure Chocolate... plus it costs much less than Nestle Impact, so it's a no-brainer for me 🙂

Hi @annmg, I look forward to learning more about your ostomy journey. Do you mind sharing a bit more? Or were you requiring nutritional drinks for a non-ostomy reason?

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 )

I was reading the ostomy section and joined an existing conversation. I have pancreatic cancer.
