sugar free carnation breakfast
Hi Roxanne, I believe the SF and no Sugar Added carnation instant breakfast are the same. Did you check the package info from the ones you received at the hospital? For me it was impossible to find this product in my area. Walmart, Target, Sams, even the local grocery chains did not carry it. I could only find the regular Carnation Instant Breakfast with all the sugar, etc...
I hope you find what you need and congrats on your surgery. Welcome to the losers bench!
I had this early postop. I would also mix in dry non fat milk powder..double milk as it were to really increase the protein. Not as good as some protein shakes but I could tolerate it.
Take care

I think they only have the "no sugar added". I pulled up their website to see and they actually have a tab for post-bariatric patients and the Carnation Instant breakfast wasn't on there, they listed some of their other products.
My surgeon recommended that for pre-op liquid diet. If you have trouble with the amount of sugar in there, you may be able to get the sugar free hot chocolate and add protein powder to it and even get more protein than what the Carnation Inst. Breakfast offers.
