I was told to use Protein shakes with at least 20g of Protein.< /p>

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..

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
