Day one of my rep op diet and I don't like opti fast shakes. I also was only arable to get three in because I didn't plan well enough today. 13 more days to go I hope it goes fast.

i had to do the opti fast stuff too. strawberry was my "favorite" if you can call it that. try freezing them for about 30 minutes to get them super cold and kind of icy. I was only able to get 2 or 3 in per day. I had salads for lunch a few days. I had grilled salmon for dinner a few nights. Im not a model pre op dieter but i made it through and lost a total of 8 pounds. Good luck! It gets easier.

Do you have to do opti fast shakes, or can you choose another brand? I would ask if there is another option.

My doc had me do slim fasts and I just got the cans so it made it easy.

Sometimes if they suggest it is for ease, but sometimes they have backup brands...

Optifast is the only shake my doctor allows

(I would add maybe some crushed ice to it, the colder a drink is, the less u can taste it :)

Maybe hold your nose when you drink it? HA HA! Just kidding, although I never had to do Optifast, I agree that the colder the better. :) I had a three-day clear liquid pre-op diet and my nutritionist suggested Optipure drinks. I get them at GNC and they are zero carb, 40 grams of Protein per bottle. Clear liquid, lots of flavors. They are best super cold as well, but I would have keeled over if I hadn't have had those!

BEST of LUCK, I know you'll do great and 13 days will FLY by!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
