Preoperatively: 1 bottle each time (250ml/bottle), 3 times per day, equivalent to approximately 1060.5kcal per day. Postoperatively: Patient should receive: 1 bottle (250 ml each) per day of test product on D 1 and D 2 post surgery, corresponding to 353.5Kcal. 2 bottles (250 ml each) per day of test product on D 3 and D 4 post surgery, corresponding to 707Kcal. 3 bottles (250 ml each) per day of test product on D 5, D 6 and D 7 post surgery, corresponding to 1060.5 kcal. At the discretion of the authorized investigator/nutritionist, the amount of study products, can be increased to meet the daily caloric goal: 1500Kcal.
Preoperatively: 272ml each time, 3 times per day, equivalent to approximately 1060.5kcal per day. Postoperatively: Patient should receive: 272ml of control product on D 1 and D 2 post surgery, corresponding to 353.5Kcal. 544ml of control product on D 3 and D 4 post surgery, corresponding to 707Kcal. 816ml of control product on D 5, D 6 and D 7 post surgery, corresponding to 1060.5 kcal. At the discretion of the authorized investigator/nutritionist, the amount of study products, can be increased to meet the daily caloric goal: 1500Kcal.
