Im on my last day of Optifast today
For St. Joes they say to stop optifast 48 hrs post op and we can have clear fluids, in the book it says apple juice, white grape juice, decaf coffee/tea with no sugar or milk, cranberry juice, jello, low fat broth. I looked it up this morning cause I want to get ready. Tuesday will be my last day of opti and then surgery on Friday. Can't believe it is almost here!
We need some calories over the 48 hours before surgery. Most of the apple juice out there is unsweetened, just the natural sugars in apples so it isn't all that bad. No that's not a dumb question because I thought the same thing too. I don't know about you but my stomach can't take a lot of anything right now. I'm getting in my opti and water but it really takes all day. I don't think I could drink that much apple juice etc for it to be a huge number of calories.
oh I could, I cant friggin wait for apple juice lol ill keep it in moderation but im choking down the Opti today so I cant wait for a change. Thanks for clearing that up I didnt want to get excited before I knew if it was ok to drink.
