Glucerna shakes

[Mink 0]

I am on day 3 of pre-op liquid diet and it is not so bad. (all but the Glucerna shakes going right through me) The Diet requires 6 cans of Glucerna Weight loss shakes per day, I could only find Glucerna shake for Diabetes is this the same thing? I seen on a previous post the pre-op diet is a low carb diet to shrink the liver, this shake is loaded with carbs (26 per can). I am beginning to get confused.

Hello. I've seen Glucerna for sale but am not really familiar with it. You might see if they have a website that you can get info from or call if there is a number on the can to find out the info you need.

I did check the web site and only found one type of shake maybe I am using the right one but the high carb content has me over-thinking this

Thanks

Hello Mink, I took glucerna for my pre-op diet because I am a diabetic and I had to be careful with the other Protein Drinks. I believe the glucerna drinks are primarily for diabetics because it helps stabilize our blood sugar. They are pretty good when cold also.

Do you know if it will shrink your liver? I will call first thing in the morning to find out and see if there is a differant product that is dosent go right through me.

OK I have to tell everyone... I bought Glucerna because I thought I should try something different.. The first one I drank I was very happy because it tasted so good a lil while later I was out and I started to feel faint then cold sweats then I felt like I will be sick and very weak.. Then it went right through me like the same liquid coming out the other end. OK so I thought maybe this was somthing else so I drank one this morning.. and the same thing happened now I am in bed sick. I hate glucerna!!!
