susanm 0 Posted May 12, 2008 I am set for June 12 and like eagerbandi will be on Optifast protien for 2 weeks (it is not the best tasting but told it is the best and I will do anything to make this happen and get my little (large) liver ready)...My nutritionist says that I have to stick to the protien drinks and green leafy veggies for the two weeks...along with Sugarfree Jello, water...lots of Water, Crystal light, tea etc...no sugar, fat or starch...Holy Crap, I am sweating now...It will be worth it...Yeah...
