How many grams of protein does the carnation have? I am on day 9 and its not bad. I had a small salad today though. I have never been so excited to eat a salad!!!!!!! How much water are you drinking? Are you dizzy? You should try premiere protein drinks. I am so happy with them. Most of my hunger is def head hunger. Are you doing any exercise?

You may want to look at a whey isolate protein, it is better for us. It sounds like you need more good protein.

My doctor recommended not doing the carnation instant breakfasts. I found a great protein powder that is delicious.

Syntrax Matrix. yummy!

A whey isolate protein is much better for you and walking will help.

The carnation instant breakfast and milk has 13 grams of protein as long as I can get 5 in a day that is 65 grams. I have been working 12-15 hours everyday at work and am working on Saturday and am on call on Sunday. I am not "hungry" so much as just craving food. the craving usually goes away in a few minutes... my belly has been rumbling lately. I am going to so to Sam's and get some premiere shakes and see what else I can find for my last week of pre-op and first week of post-op. Thanks for the help!
