WHICH DID YOU CHOOSE FOR LIQUID DIET??

I am curious to know what you guys chose to use for your liquid diets....optifast or another brand? Which flavors did you like and why did you choose that brand? What was your experience like? The ups? The downs? Thanks for your input~ Melissa

Back in the day...we (Dr. Bour's patients) had no choice, we did Optifast. But I think if I had a choice, I would do some cost comparisons.  I drink the Slim fast Low carb shakes for protien now and they aren't too bad.

I know since you are Pre-op, Walmart has an equate brand meal replacement.  I think it either has too much sugar or not enough protien for post op, but so does Optifast. Overall, none of them are REAL FOOD and you will not be 100% happy, so I guess I would just concentrate on the cheapest thing I could tolerate.

But that's just me...

Melissa If I remember correctly, we didn't have a choice to use anything other than Optifast. It was included with our enrollment fee.  I really didn't have a preference of what flavor. It was all ok with me the first week. The other week or 2, things got rough. I did like the chocolate and strawberry better than vanilla. I also liked the chicken and tomato soup. You can mix and match them so maybe you will find something you really like. Have a good day.
