Well, I guess I can chime in on this one also. I have been taking in 10 cans of Ensure High Protein for just over a year and a half now. Prior to that I was taking in 10 cans of the regular Ensure. I have been on Ensure, via G-tube, now for in excess of five years. The way I figure it is that I have consumed roughly 15,000 cans over that stretch,.... and I do not own a single share of Abbott stock.
I spread out my consumption in 2 can feedings, 5 times a day. Each feeding is followed by 400 to 500 Ml of water to flush my tube. On occasion I pop a serving into the microwave and put a healthy serving of whipped cream on top. It is amazing how much it makes it taste just like hot chocolate. Oh, yes, probably 99.5 percent of the cans I have consumed have been chocolate. It is one of the very few flavors that I can still taste.
My best to your dad as he travels this seemingly endless road.
