Hi, I am new to the forum.  I was just given a cancelation 9 days ago.  Now, my RNY is scheduled for March 11th and so my Optifast begins April 18th.  I was wondering if anyone had any idea which flavours of Davinci sugar free syrup I might try?  There are so many that it's going to be hard to choose just a handful.

Also, is there any Crystal Lite that's just orange flavoured?  I'm not sure I would like the Crystal Lite flavours I've seen as much as plain orange.

Now that the Optifast is only 8 days away, I'm beginning to feel a bit nervous, both because the surgery is coming soon (I want it done, but I'm still scared), and I did not like the Optifast - either flavour and I'm also worried that I'll feel like I'm starving for 3 weeks.

Any small words of encouragement would be very kindly received!

 

Jenn. :)

Caramel is my favorite! If you want recipe ideas, I blogged all of my opti recipes on my profile page.

Where do you find these syrups?  I have never seen them.

There is a store in Markham, as well as Burnaby, BC, and you can also shop online. 

The store's name and address in Markham is:  The Low Carb Grocery, 170 Esna Park Drive, Unit 8, Markham, Ontario, L3R 1E3.  The phone numbers are 905-752-1284,  888-484-7479. 

The main webpage for the store is - http://www.thelowcarbgrocery.com/index.php

The DaVinci syrup selection begins on this page - http://www.thelowcarbgrocery.com/catalog/davinci-c-132_267_5 39.html

I have never seen them in any regular store either - and I haven't been to The Low Carb Grocery yet, but they have a large selection of 51 different DaVinci syrups, one is just liquid Splenda, but the others are all flavoured syrups.

All of the flavors you like now. I like mixing them together to. Carmel chocolate peanut butter makes a amazing protein bar. I mix it with nut butter, splenda, oatmeal and cocoa with water And 1/2 cup what ever flavour i   feel like and love it. 

I used a real range of them for opti pre surgery. Helped with the boredom and felt like a treat.

I get mine at Nutrient house in Burlington most of the time.
