I did Optifast years ago and loved it. I made so many different concoctions with sugar free syrups and ice and lost lots of weight.

Drink tons of Water. The bars can be dangerous. Ooh ooh I remember what I did. I took and bar and sliced it into many pieces and put it in the freezer. When I wanted a snack I took out a frozen piece and it was great (like a little peanut chew)!

If the doctor's office said six servings a day, you have to do six servings a day.

I lost 50lbs on Optifast. I did liquids (shakes, broth, water) for 4 months! It's amazing how full you'll feel off just those liquids. I suggest mixing in some Fiber. I was horribly constipated :(

      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?

      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.
