Looks great to me but I do want to add something about the Optifast.
Derek is correct when he said that you need four Optifast shakes per day. I couldn't get four in in a day so the dietitian said I could divide the fourth packet into the three I was drinking per day. I was still taking all four but only drinking it three times a day.
Just keep in mind that this advice was given to me by the Ottawa centre so if this is something that you think would work better for you I would suggest contacting your weight loss centre and ask if this is ok for you.
About the Popsicles. Popsicles are considered liquid and you are allow sf Popsicles.
Edit to add Derek's name rather than call him a "poster" lol

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
Surgery July 22, 2011 Starting weight 270 128 lbs lost Today's weight 142 lbs Ann 
I was told to drink 3 - 4 optifast a day. While I would never suggest going lower than three, I never chose to have the 4th optifast for the whole three weeks I was on it.
My liver was great. I lost 22 lbs and I never felt weak or tired while on optifast. I drank little pure water because I never liked the taste but always drank enough liquids such as crystal light, jello, popsicles and broth etc etc. I was also allowed diet pop while on optifast and drank plenty of that as well. I quit pop cold turkey the night before my surgery. I will admit I tried a couple sips of flattened diet ginger ale about 1 month post op when I was not feeling well. It wasn't worth it!! lol
