they do!?! I have to find that lol

Anything that can help change it up over the next 17 days so I don't get bored with it helps!

You can order sf flavoring on Amazon

[MissTiff 38]

[padlrd 183]

I have been on Optifast since March 6th. I only get 5 shakes per day and One Bar and a lot of Water. Yippee! I lost ten pounds my first week! That was exciting! Physical hunger does go away but the brain doesn't shut down! It's a struggle every day. I just keep telling myself, this liquid diet is not forever! It gets me thru. My surgery is scheduled for April 9th. So ready!

Beginning weigh: 285

Current weight: 270

I use to put salsa in my Tomato Soup. Anything to make it taste differently.

That's pre-op? I'm not allowed to have any of that on my liquid diet. Black tea, black coffee, herbal teas, sf Jello and sf popsicles and Water. That's it. I'd give my left arm for Tomato Soup lol

That's all I can have on mine as well.. Oh, I can have the 10 cal broth too. Two weeks are done and just need to finish out this last week and Surg is on Monday. The only thing I'm finding now is that I'm horribly constipated from these shakes. Anyone else feeling like this???

Yea I forgot I can also have the 10 cal broth. As for the Constipation, I've only been on the shakes 4 days and I experiences one day of constipation. According to my papers from my Nutritionist/Dietician if that happens you should contact them to let them know.

Hey all! A lot of people on here talk about Optifast, but my hospital has us use new direction. Just wondering if anyone else on here is using that system. Starting my ALL liquid diet today. Two weeks!!!!!!! Wow!

Can you have diet soda? If so, the Optifast powdered vanilla shake mix can be awesomely delicious mixed with soda. If you mix it with diet orange it tastes just like a creamsicle. If you mix it with diet root beer it tastes like a rootbeer float. I liked to add a little crushed ice to it too to keep it very cold. Good luck and hang in there, it's only for a short moment in time.
