Carnation Instant Breakfasts for 5 DPT??

Hi everyone, I want to do the 5 DPT and I'm wondering if I could take the Carnation instant breakfast shakes for the first two days?  They provide about 12g of protein, so I don't know if the protein content is enough...  Thank you!

I'm on Day 3 of the 5DPT and definitely recommend protein shakes. I had 2 on Day 1 and felt completely fine, but by Day 2 I could feel myself dragging from a lack of energy. Now that I'm on Day 3 and eating real food my energy has been a lot higher. I'm not familiar with the Carnation breakfasts, but if you like their taste better than protein shakes maybe you could mix your Carnation drink, then use it as the base to mix with protein powder in a blender to make a smoothie. Just an idea!

Id say yes, they are fine. My doc had me on em when I first had my surgery. Can ya add some protein powder to em?? The main thing is liquids,,to let the pouch get used to less volume foods. Blessings betsy

What is 5DPT

Hi Maggie! I think those would be fine as I drank them just out of surgery as well. In fact, I am planning to start the 5 DPT today and plan to use them, I think I will just add some extra protein powder to them. Hey, maybe we could keep each other accountable with this?? That is, if you are looking for someone to buddy up with??? Laura

I used them when I did the 5dpt and usually drink one every morning b/c I have a hard time eating in the am. Good Luck with the 5 days!

Hey, I hate to sound stupid, but what is the 5DPT I have been on a 2 month stall and I need to do something to get the pounds coming off again. Thanks! Renee
