Question:
Did anyone ever use Carb Solutions?

I went shopping today & picked up a few things to eat & drink for when I come home from the hospital. I picked up Carb Solutions high protein mix & also ready to drink protein capuccino flavor. Has anyone ever used this? I'm not sure if I bought the right stuff.    — socco58 (posted on March 13, 2001)

I LOVE carb solutions!! I have 2 shakes per day. 1 in the morning and 1 at night. I mix it with 8oz of water, a handful of ice, a spoonful of instant coffee. Its delicious!!! And I have tried EVERYTHING!! I am 6 months post-op and have lost 88lbs. Good luck!!

Susan - I am pre-op but am currently using Carb-Solutions...and they are totally acceptable. Not to mention they take much better than many of the others on the market...I have used both the chocolate and vanilla...mixed with water....crushed ice...and one banana in the blender and it is GREAT. Personally, I did not care for the pre-mixed in the bottle...the capuccino tasted way too sweet...thought I might "dump" with it after surgery. Good Luck, Karan

Susan, Carb Solutions also has a high protein bar that is outstanding. When you are further post-op they are compatable with the diet. The two flavors I like the best are peanut butter and jelly and just plain peanut butter.(of course they are coated with chocolate.) They are easy to chew and are not the least bit dry.I am 9 weeks post and right now a bar will last me an entire day. I couldn't possibly eat it all at once. It is easy to keep in my car and is handy when I need a little something. I've never tried their protein drink, but if that product is as high quality as the bars, I will definitely give it a try.

Susan, I have been using Carb Solutions for a week. My dr. requires that we do liquids for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I have tried both the Choc. and Van. Add ice and blend. It also shakes well. Enjoy, Colleen

I am using the Carb Solution bars pre-op. I have been getting my body ready for the BIG (and I do mean BIG) day. I like the Chocolate Toffee Hazelnut. It has a chewy texture, the other bars seem to taste a little dry. They are all pretty good, but this one is my favorite. I use them like a meal overnight (I work the midnight to 8am shift).I am going to try the powder next. I am trying different thing before the surgery.
