Optifast 2 week Pre-Op diet

[nmccarthy 11]

Well I start my Pre-op diet Tuesday . I have to only eat and drink Optifast Protein supplements I purchased from the doctors for 14 days. Any tips from someone who have used Optifast .

i have tried the french vanilla, chocolate and the strawberry. out of the 3 i liked the chocolate and strawberry. i start my 3 week pre-op diet monday. Best of luck with your surgery.

I'm on my 8th & final week of Optifast. I mix it up, blend with ice, blend with frozen berries (only fruit I'm allowed). The Soups were ok, but I got tired of them. The bars were ok, the deserts were ok, but also tiring. The shakes will get you through. At first I had a variety of their products a day (I'm on 5 a day), but now I'm just shakes, when hungry drink Water. I now see the shakes as convenient. A nutritious drink I made in 30 seconds. My nutritionist told me to eat a cup of diet jelly (Australian term for Jello in US), that helps break it up. Use your time better, keep out of the kitchen!

I am sooo glad my doctor does not require a pre-op diet. The only restriction is the day before surgery. Have a light Breakfast and then only liquids for the rest of the day.

You are so lucky. I have to do two full weeks consisting of two shakes, one lean Protein and veggie.

My doctor didn't recommend a pre-op diet either except for day before but I think I may try and do a week of liquids.

My doctor just wants me to eat a light supper the night before. I think I want to jump start my weight loss and do liquids for the week before surgery. My surgery is July 8th so 4th of July will be some yummy chocolate shakes. I love Atkins shakes, so that makes it easier for me. Good luck everyone.

I am finding that blending the Optifast with ice bulks them up a bit. It actually makes the chocolate shake taste like a Wendy's Frosty. Haha. Good Luck! You can do this.
