Question:
Has anyone tried Ensure light?

Hi all. 8 days post-op and down 13 pounds! My mom was trying to be helpful and bought me Ensure light. In one can it has 18g sugar and 10g protein. Is this a good idea or will it make me dump? THanks!!!    — emilyfink (posted on June 21, 2002)

With 18 grams of sugar, it will probably make you dump which is not a good thing especially so early on. I would recommend EDGE Carb solutions, has only 4 grms of carbs and no sugar. A lot of so called diet protien drinks are loaded with sugar so it is a good habit to always read the label. Good Luck.

Milk is a much better alternative. A cup of milk has 8 grams of protein... and I forgot how many of sugar. But in any case, it's better than those other drinks like Ensure.

I just bought a 6 pack of this product made by Ensured. Its for dieabetics. It has lots of vitamins,10 grams of protein and only 7 grams of sugar in it.I think its pretty new on the market. You might want to try it sometime. Take care and good luck!!!!
