Pre op diet

[Hevnbound 51]

I woke up this morning with the "headache" and he shakes on day 2. These Optifast shakes are horrid I wish they would use the Premeir Shakes those are good. Now to fill up on liquids.< /p>

Tell me about it!! I'm on 4 weeks of that stuff - 13 days to go! I didn't have a problem until a couple of days ago. I was gagging thinking about drinking another Optifast but I pushed through and they are now more tolerable. I heat the chocolate for a fairly decent cup of hot chocolate. Bought some flavoring; cherry, strawberry, coconut, banana, etc. and that helps tremendously. chocolate and strawberry Optifast in a blender with ice cubes = smoothies. Put cherry flavoring in chocolate - think chocolate covered cherries! :-)

After surgery I can use Usury, Premier, Yahoo, etc. Supposedly however, ..... Optifast is the best Meal Replacement formula to get all nutrients. I quit taking supplements when I started a Optifast.

Hang in there.

I have to bring some ice into work, I just don't have a big freezer here, I have tried the exracts and they just taste funny to me maybe using to much or not enough I have a blender here so with some ice I can make smoothies. I'm also doing tons of Water, gatorade G2, sf Jello and popsycles and knitting my 2nd sock to my pair, then going to finish a shawl for shop display...(I own a yarn shop) I will get thru this 1 drink at a time....thanks for your replies

This may sound dumb, but how do I get that tracker onto my profile?

If you use a computer you sign in and go to your profile or something like that. I had to do that.

stocked up on ice, no ice maker at home and small freezer at work, added it to my shakes in the blender much, much better thanks

Popsicles, Jello, Protein shakes, gatorade, etc. are it. I got a pedicure today and some girl was eating Taco Bell and I wanted to yell at her. 5 more days! Who is your dr and where is your surgery?

Who eats in a nail salon?! I would have wanted to yell at her liquid diet or no liquid diet! Lol.

Oh gaw! You guys making me scared for my preop diet!!! Lol!!! Can you take a appetite suppressant during that time??

I messed up more than a couple times...not too bad but what can you do. If we were all able to stick to a 2 week liquid diet we probably wouldn't be needing surgery. No suppressants.... my surgeon employs his own pharmacist and he said no. Some of them interfere with anesthesia.
