I received 3 different post op diets, very, very similiar from my 1st appointment, then when I saw my nutritionist and then again right before surgery. One of them lists Carnation Instant breakfast no sugar added as an option for Stage 2 (Full-Liquids) which I'm on. Did anyone else have this during this stage? I would love to be able to branch out a little bit and would be interested in having this if it's OK.

I used CIB (sugar free) with skim milk. I am real finicky when it comes to drinks like that and I just can't gag down the pre-mixed Protein drinks.

I now only use CIB on those days when I can't get breakfast in before work.

I use CIB BUT add natural protein powder to boost the amt of protein.

My nutrionalist said this is perfectly fine for us. He also suggested adding some non-fat dry milk to it, for a little extra protein.

This was part of my pre-op diet. Afterwards, I tried to mostly use the Protein shakes, but I still use it from time to time. I like the taste of it. Sometimes I add a scoop of nutella and a banana to make it more filling.
