Grandma has to drink this to keep her weight up

So my grandmother went though cancer treatment and beat stage 4 neck cancer. It was a tough battle but one thing we found after she finished all of her treatments was she was having a hard time eating. The radiation really made her throat tight. So she fluctuates between 98 and 100 pounds. Before her cancer she weighed 120 pounds but we are just happy she made it. Anyways because of her lack of eating her doctor suggested that we try Ensure between meals to help her get what she needs. She says she likes the taste and it's easy for her to drink. She's 87 years old and has some strength loss so the bottles can be a bit hard for her to open. If we are not in the room you can hear her pounding the bottle on the table to loosen the cap. I do wish they would sell a pack that had all three flavors so she would be able to enjoy them all without having to buy a full pack of each one

Taste Pretty Good

This was purchased because I had a major surgery and could not eat very much solid food for several weeks. This tasted good and did not have a weird after-taste. At the time it satisfied my hunger for several hours. I think it has essential nutrients and is good as a supplement. It did not upset my stomach. I tried the chocolate flavor. I would recommend this

Can make a huge difference when you really need it.

Honestly, I'm a health-food nut so I would never support consuming these if you can get something healthier in. However, I use them to help get nutrition into people who don't have the will or strength to eat, but do have a need for nutrition,,, namely laboring moms. When I can't get a mom to take a bite of food, I can almost always get her to take a few sips of this, and it can really make a huge different. I have seen several times where I think this saved the day. So, if you have a situation where you're having a hard (or impossible) time getting better quality nutrients into someone, this can really make a difference

Good Supplement

My husband drank these during and now after treatment for throat cancer. I mix them in the blender with whole milk and ice cream to give him a tasty shake that is easy to swallow and provides him with a lot of palatable calories and nutrients. It's not very delicious on its own but it is easy to supplement in a blender with ice cream, almond butter, vanilla extract, fruit and/or protein powder
