I'm on my 2nd day of 14 days of: 4 or 5 sugar free carnation instant breakfasts a day. I can only have 8 oz of skim milk in one day so I divide that up between my shakes. (Not too tasty by the way) I can also have sugar free Jello and sugar free pop cycles. I had a horrific head ache yesterday. Usually the only thing that works for my head aches is Excedrin but since I'm having a bypass, I'm off all NSAID's FOREVER! So I'm taking Tylenol which I usually do not use but I guess it will have to be my go to medicine now! While I'm at work it's not too bad but on the weekend I think I'll really struggle. My surgery is October 22, 2014.

I'm on the exact same diet regimen. However, I'm only on day 1. My surgery date is Oct 28th. Hang in there with the headache! I hear it goes away around day 3 or 4. Good luck!

@@brown eyed gal, Hey fellow Okie! Are you going through Dr. Kirk's program too? I'm slated for a November/ December surgery and was wondering where in the world you find the Carnation Instant Breakfast? ?? I've been to a handfull of stores in the Owasso area and can't find it anywhere!

I've had no problem finding it at Wal-Mart, but in Tulsa.

I'm two weeks away from surgery, and still on the liquid diet. I am not on the instant Breakfast regimen, which you may find on Amazon, instead I am on either Premier Protein or skim milk drinks with 100% whey Protein. Either way, I find that using cinnamon really helps with the taste. Good luck.

Thank you wild goose, i just put cinnamon in my chocolate sugar free instant Breakfast, it did help! I have way more chocolate that variety (bought by mistake).

Brooke, yes my headaches have gone away. I'm on day 6!!

I am starting my 2 week liquid diet on 11/27. The thought of having so many sweet Protein drinks does not appeal to me. What else can I have that is not sweet? What about Soups?

Someone on this site mentioned GENEPRO Protein. It's tasteless and totally dissolves. I put it in broth. I can also have v-8 veggie juice, so I mix that and the protein with broth and it's like Tomato Soup. The protein is 98 calories and 30grams of protein. Can't taste it at all!!

amylynns... Thanks so much for the V-8 juice suggestion. I happen to love V-8 juice! Do you buy the low sodium kind?

I didn't buy the low sodium kind. But I think either option would be fine.

@@Inner Surfer Girl Thanks lady! I don't know why but I don't utilize the internet as much as I should. Or rather I use it for stupid things like looking up the definition of "lode" versus "load" and helping me do fractions. I don't enjoy shopping so doing it online is probably a really good idea for me. :)

      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?

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?
