Ready2loseIt 6 Posted June 23, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PandorasBox92264 61 Posted June 23, 2012 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...

Cazzy 725 Posted June 23, 2012 (I would add maybe some crushed ice to it, the colder a drink is, the less u can taste it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dliteful! 11 Posted June 23, 2012 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!
