I started out on Ensure and then found Ensure Plus but it wasn't until I found the VHC that I started to make some headway. That's because I didn't have to drink but 4 cans to meet my daily goal. When I was drinking the Ensure I had to down 6 to 8 cans a day and I always fell behind going into my 4th week of Tx. That's when all my problems really began. Keep on top of the food and water and avoid most of the crap I brought on myself.
