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.

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!!

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
