I have been given 2 boxes of opti  fast and want to ensure it is the same as what my doctor will give me? Is there a certain kind Dr Starr will give you.What do teh packages say?

 

thanks..

This is the the only one HRRH surgeons sell, pretty sure its the same as our other centres of excellence sell as well.

I'm sure that all the clinics use the same Opti, so as long as that's where it was bought (by who gave it to you) you should be fine.

Why is there extra Opti anyways? I know some ppl may not be able to drink all the daily amount.

But wouldnt it be good to drink when you are on full fluids too?

No many centres do not want you on it as a new post op. too many carbs.

Almost 17 Carbs.  They usually like you to have no more than 5-6 per shake.
