Sugar Free Canation Instant Breakfast



Recommended Posts

This is the liquid diet I have decided to use to try and lose the weight before my lap band on 2/23 - am I able to add a bannana in it or something to give it some flavor?Also am I able to take my regular Fiber plills that I normally take. They usually help keep me full when I do take them...I feel like I have so many questions and don't want to keep calling the dr office for every little question I have...Thanks for your help.Jackie

Well what I can tell you is that no you can not add a banana to the shake....however I know of a whey protien powder from GNC they have banana flavored..I haven't tried it but its worth a try if it doesn't work out you can return it. And you should still be able to take the fiber pill...I still take all my pills. hope that helps

sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast has fiber added to it now. You may find if you take supliments it is too much. I find the Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast gives me a tummy ache (gas pains I belive) from the fiber. Sorry if that was TMI, but I thought I would warn you. :yikes:

Try just using some Sauer's flavoring, banana or lemon, coconut, etc. That way you can still keep your carbs down. You may think about buying in bulk if you can find one you like. I like the EAS(I get it from Sam's club) in 5/6 lb bag. You will be using alot of the Whey Protein Powder in the next couple of months. There are lots of Brands, and as many places to buy them. Just try and find one you like. The GNC is really expensive for the 1 lb bags, but they have lots of flavors. Walmart carries an Whey Protein I think now. Remember you will need anywhere from 50-90 grams Protein everyday, especially post-op for the healing phase. Good luck!:yikes:

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
