Cleanse
Yes. It's called Optifast.
LOL, it cleaned me out like crazy. Usually goes one way or the other...everyone seems to react differently/
Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!
Three weeks worth would be 84. (four a day). Some people have less.
How much is it now to buy through the Clinic?

I wouldnt buy it on amazon.com.. its probably the american version which is not the same as the canadian version. and likley more expensive than getting it from your surgeons office.
Hi Monique,
I was told that the type of Opti we have to drink is Rx only and we have to buy it when we sigh the consent form for surgery; otherwise they won't give us a surgery date, so I don't think they will let you get your own Opti.
My 3 weeks of Opti was about $270.00 HST & delivery included from the TWH's source in Mississauga. It was a huge, very heavy box, so shipping might be a lot off Amazon.
Jenn. :)
The cost to buy it from your centre is approx. 270.00 for three weeks because I just bought three weeks worth in Jan 2013 and that is what I paid.
