Help what else can I have wile on opti fa

Only on second day and having a hard time  

i have heard I can have sugar free Popsicles

i have sugar free jello and soup broth 

are we allowed any fruit I would kill for a banana lol

Which center are you through? And probably not a banana...

TWH  I am on opti for 4weeks

I was pretty sure they gave out instructions with Opti for TWH... Did you get those?

Unless they have changed clear broth was the only thing I was allowed going through TWH earlier this year.  I would save it for the evening snack, as by then my tummy was bringing out the 100 trombones to match through our condo!  

Every center is different on what you can have. I have not yet heard of any center allowing you to have fruit. I would be very surprised if your center did not tell you what you can have. Most times they give you a hand out. Go back and read it. Look at it this way this is the start of a very new life.

I am on opti now and through TWH.

We are allowed 4 opti per day, clear broth, sf jello, sf popcycles, and any sf drinks...

Here is how I am surviving. 

Opti #1 @ 7am, 

SF Jello @ 9am,

Opti #2 @ 11am,

SF Jello @ 1pm,

Opti # 3 @ 3pm,

Broth @ 5pm,

Opti #4 at 7pm,

SF Jello @ 9pm

Bed between 10-11pm.

I find if I spread it out that way I make it without being too hungry... Sometimes it is honestly mind over matter.  if your hungry between opti have broth or jello or both...

Good luck...

TWH is stricter than some other centres.  NO fruit, NO veggies.  Not sure about sugar free popscicles but you should of gotten a package outlining what is ok and what isn't on Opti. 

Gum was a lifesaver for me.  All those different dessert flavours in sugar free really made my day :)

Good luck !  You can do this :)

I am through TWH and almost at the end of my 3 weeks the first few days for me was horrible by day 4 -5 I was feeling much better. Your body is carb detoxing so it is hard but will get better.

If you are hungry have more broth or jello I know its not much but you are not limited to just one bowl. Also SF gum I remember after day 4 I had a piece and thought I was in  heaven.

I also did not use that horrible tasting broth in the cans or container to me all I could taste was grease. I use the lipton chicken noodle soup mix and vegetable beef soup mix drain all the noodle off of it and drink the broth so much more taster. 

Stick with it you can do this.

Beware the headaches - they start around day three of OptiFast.

That's your body detoxing.

I found one of my best tools was to recognize what I THOUGHT were hunger pangs were actually THIRST pangs - so I drank more during those weeks on OptiFast than I ever had before, and it really helped. Especially the broths.

Remember - if they don't shrink your liver enough, they have to perform the RNY the old-fashioned way - with a long incision. Hang in there.
