I'm on my 4th week of Optifast and I love them. They are a little pricey and only available through distributors. Check out their website OPTIFAST - weight loss, weight management, improved health, renewed energy and self esteem

I also had this question. I start my pre-op diet on the 10th.

Has anyone come across a non-sweet shake that they like? I really am not fond of sweet food....like chocolate and vanilla shakes. Is there some unflavored or savory powders that someone has tried and liked?

Thanks!

my nutritioniest told me of a product called Unjury they have a tasteless protine that I guess you add to drinks Soup ect but I have never tried it. I am skeptical witch was the reason for my post. I have tried the mussle milk whey vanilla and omg it it soooooo gross! I gag every time I try to drink it.

I have tried the Myoplex Lite chocolate and while it was not super good it was drinkable. I did not care for it because it left a coating in your mouth. But I did like the Muscle Milk Chocolate. I only buy the pre-mixed ones because I just don't have time in the morning to get all the stuff out to mix one and that way I can just toss it in my bag and drink it when I get to work. They say not to freeze them (the pre-mixed ones) but I toss my in the freezer for about 15 to 30 minutes so it is nice and cold. It makes it a little easier to get down. I have not started my offical pre-op diet but have just been trying some for Breakfast to find one I like before I have to do the pre-op. I will need to check out the unflavored kind. Oh and it is not a Protein Shake but Crystal Lite makes a Strawberry/Banana mix that has Protein in it. Not a lot but hey every little bit helps right.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
