  1. I'm 53 & on Prozac, Synthroid, a diuretic for hypertension, and estrogen. Capsules have to be broken open and eaten with applesauce or some such, and taste AWFUL, but the other pills are tiny and work OK.
  2. Sorry you're feeling down; it IS a huge change, huh! I've tried twice in my life to wean off antidepressants, only to slowly sink into the bottom of a big black hole. So I've decided that quitting antidepressants when you need them is a stupid as taking the cast off your broken leg before it's healed! If my brain chemistry requires prozac to function properly, then Prozac it is! I look back at the lives of 2 of my aunts and feel so sad to know that if they'd just had access to antidepressants they would have lived MUCH happier lives! Thank God for modern medicine! ;o}

    Pre Op Liquid Diet

    I used the Sugar-Free Carnation Instant Breakfast with fiber, and had no problem. However, I must admit that for the 10 days pre-op that I was on it, I cheated and ate a plain green salad with low-cal dressing every DAY because I thought I would die without eating! Probably added about 100 calories/day, but I did OK!

    Pre Op Liquid Diet

    My doctor & RD had me buy the sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast and mix it with skim milk. It's about $4 for a box of 8 pks and I was allowed 6/day. Now I'm 4 days post-op and I just started drinking it again; I see no reason at all to go buy hugely expensive stuff from a health food store!
