Just a simple poll on how many optifast shakes you currently have per day.

I have had some people tell me they only have 3 well some others have 5. I am on 4 per day ..... What about you?

4 is standard. Some people say they can't get in 4 a day, they can only tolerate 3, or manage to get 3 in/
i've never heard of people on 5 a day.

We did 4 per day when I had surgery over 6 years ago.  Now my clinic does 3 per day and 225 calories of approved veggies.  The only time I heard of anyone doing 5 per day is when they did the Optifast 800 shakes as they are lower in calories than the Optifast 900 shakes that we do here in Ontario.

I did 4, some broth and some raw veggies (only the ones allowed by my surgeon).  Until I got sick of the veggies and broth, that is.

I did the 4 a day, there was the odd day I only got in 3.

I wanted to have 6 every day but was only allowed 4. I have no idea how some people only had 3??? I love the shakes now that I started making them thicker with lots of ice. The chicken broth was helpful to give me some energy. lots of fluids is also important to keep you feeling full. good luck
