Premier Protein

I, too, had to drink the Ensure. I wanted to use Premier Protein instead (because it was cheaper and available in bulk from Costco) but the clinic insisted on Ensure so that's what I drank. I decided to go with it because so close to surgery I didn't want them to say I wasn't being compliant with their rules. It's pricey but it's do-able and they didn't bother me after the first 2 days. As support, my hubby drank them along with me which helped.
If you're clinic doesn't OK the PP then I suggest you go along with what they ask so you don't risk any delays or raise concerns. Post-surgery, no problem with the PP.
