I tried the Opti-fast shakes and I really didn't like them. They had a horrible taste. But I did find from doctor these R-Kane Pro-Cal shakes and they are really good. Almost too good to be true. They are 100 cals , 15g protein for a 10oz. shake. I add more whey protein to them. You can order them online. I would order one of each and see which your taste buds prefer. I have been on all liquids for two weeks and yes I am hungry but it isn't so bad.

I had to do OptiFast for Dr G two weeks prior. I lost 12 lbs. I hated it and still have a whole case in my closet untouched. I tried many different kinds of extract to make it taste good but nothing would work - I had to plug my nose in order to drink it.
I think the other choices like Slimfast might taste better.
