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.

Add 1/3 cup of dried milk and ice. Waters own the sweet and adds protein.

My nut does not use this at all. She recommends the Bariatric Advantage protein powder.

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!!

Scottsgirl: the purpose of it is protein . But they will give you a list of others to take . The carnation was what was recommended

Thanks all - ill try the others

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!
