Optifast Chicken Soup



Recommended Posts

I was told that in our area we cannot have access to the Optifast chicken Soup. I found some on Ebay from Australia and ordered it. My husband is concerned about why I wasn't able to get hold of any in our area. Does anyone know of any reason to doubt the safety of getting this product from Australia?

Here in Ontario Canada, Optifast is only available by prescription. A friend of mine ordered it from Ebay from somewhere in the US, and it was stopped at the border, it was not allowed to enter Canada and she lost her money.

I dont think it has anything to do with safety of the product, just different regulations in different countries.

It will be interesting to see if the Soup actually gets to you.

I was told on Thursday that they are no longer making the chicken Soup, only Tomato, because the chicken (and the Peanut Butter bars and oat bars) were made in China so they closed those operations when all of the tainted milk, etc. started popping up. I guess they are trying to get those flavors going in a different location but not soon enough to help us.

BTW, Nestle now owns Novartis.

Im from Australia and if you ordered it from here I wouldn't doubt the safety what so ever.

I would be more concerned about ordering it from China.

You can get Optifast from pretty much anywhere here.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
