Yeah, Ensure is great for maintaining weight. When I can't eat, I drink Ensure...The regular Ensure has 250 calories and the Ensure Plus has 350. When I can eat, I drink it with my meals so that I get extra calories. Another thing you can do, is make a smoothie with it. I use one bottle of Ensure, 1/4-1/2 cup Soy milk (for extra fiber), a banana, and sometimes ice cream. If you don't like the taste of Soy milk, don't worry, everything else covers the taste up. My stomach can usually take it pretty well. I also learned from a doctor that when your stomach is upset the four easiest things to digest are bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (commonly called the BRAT diet)...I have lived on it for days at a time when I couldn't eat anything else.
