How did your day go? I'm on day two and still have a headache but I'm not hungry so that's a plus. Never thought I would say this, thank God for jello.

@@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 have several pages of protein drink recipes if anyone is interested. Message me.

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?

I was able to have broth which helped.

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!!

Tomorrow should be my last liquid diet day. I have a post op visit with my Dr on Thursday and I'm hoping to graduate to phase two.

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

You can get carnation instant breakfast through drugstore.com

v8 is good. i get the low sodium and add hot sauce.

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.

You can also get GNC products from drugstore.com.

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.

im one day other you I didn't know after surgery we can't have any NSAIDs wow
