Carnation instant breakfast.



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else getting sick after drinking this daily ? I was sleeves 8/16 and was home on Saturday . I'm on a stage 3 diet which means clear quids. And fluids - with a requirement of taking thiis.

My husband is in week 2, and refuses to drink anymore of it. He says he feels nauseated so I switched him to Unjury. He likes it much better.

It's way too sweet. I was never able to tolerate it.

I feel like the carnation doesn't have pack a lot of Protein? I'm surprised it's being recommended! Try the Unjury Soup if you want to mix it up.

What's the purpose of drinking it? Did they say?

So much of this process is Trial and error, some shakes I could tolerate fine, others no-go. I also switched to Smart Balance lactose free milk and that seemed to help me a lot. I was never a big milk drinker and found it sat much better with me.

Good luck!!

My surgeon recommends this also due to the Vitamins. My nut said though if I was handling other Protein Drinks well, then I could skip it and use those if I was only going to be on it for 10 days. If for some reason my stage 1 was extended then I would need to go on it for the vitamins. Here's to hoping it is a short time because I hate it.

my nut recommends this but says to add non fat milk powder to boost Protein. She also said though that protein powders are better, just some people can't handle the protein powders so she says no sugar added carnation is allowed if you add the powder to boost the protein.

Carnation Instant Breakfast and Slim Fast were on my "Not to drink" list. They only have 5gms of Protein (+ 8 for the milk, reg, low fat or non fat r the same). So thats 13 gms. My protein (I use Syntrax Nectar) has 23 gms + 8 gms= 31 gms per 8 oz. Packs more of a punch. Altho I think the more protein is in something, the more it tastes like protein is added!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
