Hi folks.

Um....I am day 7 of 21 days of Optifast and I know that I am allowed a small portion of green vegetables but I can't find any mention of this fact in my notes or their handouts. Which vegetables are we allowed and how much?

Doing much better now. Day 3 was the worst. I was very afraid I was going to quit. But I didn't and it got easier. I have lost a bit of weight which has been a pleasant surprise as well.

Thanks for any and all help. Have a great day!

Hey u can have broccoli, cucumber, green peppers, lettuce, celery. I'm on day 7 as well but only for 14 thank god. I'm starving even with my 2 cups of veggies. I'm cranky and irritable. Lol no energy and I'm always tired. But I'm half way there. My surgery is August 8.

Hi there,

Make three of those veggies into a soup. Pepper, celery and broccoli with low sodium broth and clubhouse seasonings.... yum and a nice change-up from the sweet. Enjoy!

Yeah for you that you kept on with the Opti....keep the prize in sight (your waistline shrinking). From

all the posts here each surgeon varies so it might be a thought to call your centre or dietician and ask what you are allowed. Good for you to post with your news. Best wishes

Morning Bin,

Hope today is a better day on opti.

Everyone answered your questions. The only thing I would add is drink lots of water. I'm also going through HRRH and have surgery on Sept. 21, 3 weeks of opti for me too....not looking forward to it.

Do you mind me asking you the meaning of your name? I think I might know....let's see if I am.
