Hi Linda:
My surgery was done by Dr. Stellato with Dr. Hallowell assisting. I drank Boost the whole time because it seemed to be what they recommended. They even gave me coupons. I won't lie, the first two weeks you will want to pull your hair out after drinking the same thing over and over and I am now 6 weeks post op and won't be drinking Boost anytime soon haha! Good luck to you!
Hi Linda, I liked the Boost and it was a little less expensive than the Ensure.
I liked the chocolate flavor. I think one or the other of them does not contain lactose, so if you are intolerant or have allergies you might take that into consideration. Good luck at UH! Dr. Hallowell did my surgery and Dr. Stellato assisted. I have been very pleased with my surgery and treatment.
I added some tasteless whey protein powder to my Boost (at home), because it does not have all that much protein and you only drink two ounces of it three times a day for awhile. I think that probably helped me heal faster and saved my hair from all falling out. Alice
