Review on Pre-Surgery Clear Strawberry Carbohydrate Drink - 10 fl oz, 4 Count by Monica Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Effective despite the awful taste of straw.

I was prescribed these before my surgery at my hospital's anesthesia clinic. So I was ordered to drink one 12 hours before surgery, one 8 hours before surgery, and a third just before leaving home and going to the hospital. On the plus side, you are fairly full and energetic in the mornings before surgery and don't seem to be as dehydrated and wrecked as usual after surgery. Down Thunder migraines on its own means skipping meals. Problem solved and I felt pretty good the morning before surgery, even compared to doing the same routine with Gatorade (another recent surgery). "Supply" is much more substantial and gives you much more than just sugar water. But oh, that taste. If you like sucralose, you've come to the right place. 'Cause you're gonna get 5 lives taking sucralose, man. For us real humans, the aftertaste is SHOCKING. The texture of a very light smoothie isn't as off-putting as the TERRIBLE strawberry flavor of sucralose. Straw Bralose = BLARGH! But hey, at least you won't be hungry in the end, you'll have migraines and you won't pass out when you get to the hospital. It's worth something. 3 stars.

Pros
