Day one Opti - Surgery March 22nd Ottawa

Hi everyone, so today is day one on Optifast- Taste just like a protein shake, not bad, I am sure I wont be saying that in a few days lol. I wanted to know can I continue my B12 while on the shakes? Anyone having surgery in Ottawa on March 22nd?

Crazy to think 21 days away.

I think I am going to not drink any coffee while on the shakes because I can't do black coffee. We aren't allowed cream or milk right?

Crazy eh? i'm on day three of opti, i just drink them really fast, dont' mind the chocolate but the vanilla is kinda gross.... no milk or cream.

good luck

im not a coffee drinker, and i didnt do opti...but could you use no cal coffee whitener?

Does anyone know if I can take my B12?

My notes (I'm through Ottawa) just say to stop multivitamin but go ahead with any other vitamins.  Hope that helps?

They said my B12 was a little low, I am scared to take anything but don't want to get to pre admin and have them say they wont do surgery cuz my B12 is a little too low

Hi, it's day one for me on optifast as well, I can't believe I have  24 more days b4 surgery ... I've never been one for anything sweet so it's been hard just getting thru the first day on these shakes.. I manage the first, couldn't drink the second... But on the third & fourth, I  put decaf coffee in them and drank them warm, tastes like a really sweet coffee, but at least they went down... After reading all the post on ppl eating raw veggies on the optifast plan, I ran to the fridge and allowed myself 4 slices of cucumber , hoping it would help with the headache... After reading more posts, I'm praying what I've read is true and it gets easier ....  

Surgery date is march 25th

thank u to all those who post on this website, it's really helped me prepare :)
