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

I would encourage anyone to utilize this drink pre- surgery. I would have bought the whole set (the pre and post) if I had had more warning about the date of surgery. It is excellent in supporting your body through the surgical time.

I bought for an upcoming procedure the dr said to drink this. I never had the surgery but due to my health issues I drank it anyways. This stuff is delicious and helps alot

This has shown to be so beneficial before surgery that my surgeon prescribes it. Hydrating and tastes good.

I was surprised by how many people think that this item, Ensure Pre-Surgery, is the same thing as Ensure sold at grocery stores. This is a special form of Ensure Clear, not just transparent, but without any color at all, which is designed to be a part of a strict clear liquids diet before a medical procedure, such as surgery or colonoscopy. You would not drink it more than a day, and there is no other reason to drink it other than for a medical procedure. It is totally clear (no color at all). It comes in strawberry flavor, but the flavor is very subtle and I would probably not even guessed that it is strawberry if it was not written on the bottle. It is probably an artificial strawberry flavor. The taste is agreeable, but I would not drink it if I did not have a good reason to. I used it for prep for colonoscopy. Ensure Pre-Surgery is not carried by grocery stores or pharmacies, so I was very glad to find it on Amazon. It is unlikely that someone would drink more than 4 bottles during the day of clear liquids diet (in most cases it is a one day prep, although it may be different in some cases, I just do not know). The difference with Ensure Clear is that Ensure Clear is transparent, but has a strong color to it (and tastes better). Depending on the type of medical procedure which you are preparing for, Ensure Clear might also work (and it would have more flavors and would taste better and it is also cheaper) - ask your doctor.

Got these for colonoscopy “clear liquids” prep day and they really helped a lot. I got a lot, 2 packs, but I really only needed 1. They’re surprisingly filling despite just being liquid. Helped with the hunger and I was able to sleep a solid 7 hours before the procedure and everything turned out well. I’m going to recommend them to others I know if they’re going through the same thing. The taste is ok, honestly I thought it would be worse but it’s decent. Just like a sweet liquidy strawberry. I’ll definitely keep these in mind for future procedures as well.
