Pre-Op Liquid Diet

This is my first time ever blogging... I hope I am doing I correctly... (feel free to offer suggestions:) I started the Pre-op liquid diet on Friday. I have been drinking sugar-free carnation instant breakfast 5 times a day and having a sugar-free jello along with lots of water. Today I started craving MEAT! I am not really hungry I just feel like maybe I'm having withdraws from Beef and Pork and I know that I will not be eating much of that for a long time if anytime soon. Any ideas on how to get through cravings?? Also I have only lost 1.5 lbs and this is going on 5 days on this diet. My Dr expects me to lose 9-15 lbs in the 2 week pre-op diet. I hope I can get this weight off in time! :unsure:

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!
