A few questions

Ok first one.. on Optifast is it normal to have very low energy? I went for a walk with my hubby and dog today was gone about half an hour and I am totally and utterly exhausted and drained with no enery what so ever is this normal?

Secondly.. does anyone know where the heck I can buy sugar free popsicles? I was told I could have those but cannot seem to find any anywhere.. and I was hoping to have some for this weekend as a special sort of snack for me as we are going camping and everyone is going to be eating chips, marshmallows, steak, potatoes, beer, drinks u name it everything I love and can't have lol.. HELP!!!

I found sugar free popsicles at walmart, I believe they are by the popscicle brand, and they come in grape orange and cherry. They got me through the opti-fast, and so did the broth and jello.  Have fun camping, and I hope the weather is good for you :)

Rather then buying SF Popsicles I bought a Popsicle mold and put crystal light drink into it and Voila !! another treat. Also now than I'm post-op i take a jar of baby food, usually prunes and add a 1/4 of the container to a liter of water and it helps keeping me regular instead of buying stool softeners.
Keep up the good work hun 

where did you find the popsicle mold that is an awesome idea thank you

I also make mine from crystal light, i got my molds at food basics for $2 but they have them at walmart for $4 and you get about 8 from one sachet of crystal light so way cheaper than buying popsicles.....

Hi there

I think the low energy is normal because you are not eating. Make sure you get your water in so you don't get dehydrated

The popsicles I have found pretty much in any grocery store, there are a couple of brands. You could always make your own too if you can't find them

Take care

ok where in what department in walmart do I find these? I am sooo going there later today to buy me some :) 

Thanks for all the replies

Hi Sweet C. I bought my sugar free popsicles from No frills. They are made my Champman's. Also a great idea for making your own, crystal light like the others have said. Go to the $ store. They will have the molds there.....and yes, low energy...I'm on day 3-no hungar pains, just really slow today!

 I get mine at Walmart in the states 12 for 2 bucks..but Ive seen them at No frills for I think its 6 or 7 dollars a box of 12 ( correct me if Im wrong)

with regard to low energy, you're only giving your body about 900 calories a day, from that optifast. That equals low energy. You'll find that once your body gets used to it, you'll have more energy, but the whole time i was on optifast, i felt like i could just sit and sleep.
