One of the things that I'm working on is finding good items for my pre- and post-surgery food requirements. Before I took the classes, I tried the Ensure Plus nutritional shakes.
The were OK tasting, and certainly relieved gassy bloat that I'd been feeling recently. But during our classes, we were told to look for the following:
- Less than 200 calories,
- More than 15 grams of protein,
- Watch out for over-sugaring!
Today I'm going to go fishing for some alternatives. One that they pointed to is the Boost Glucose Control shakes.
It turns out that several stores in my area carry them, so I'm going to take a drive into town, pick some of these up, and see how these work. One thing I'm always concerned about is the taste; tomorrow, I'll let you know if I was able to choke 'em down.
Cheer!
