Optifast 900

Well here i am on day 17 of my Optifast liquid diet.  I just want to say that up until today I have been having the opti shakes as cold as I can make them.  This morning I decided to try my breakfast one hot.  Wow it was the chocolate one and it was amzingly good.   Mmmmm just like hot chocolate.   Woe better late than never!    :-)  Val

I wish I would of thought of that when I was on opti. Sounds awesome!

Yes it is awesome.  It is going to make my last week even better!

If I'm not mistaken, During one of our meetings in Kingston, I do believe they advised us Not to heat up opti as it broke down some of the nutrients. 

It might be an idea to give them a phone call and check.   All the best on the 22 of April

Hey Buddy thanks for the heads up!  I did not know that.  I will continue on with them cold.  Either way im ok with it.  Hope your day is going well. I have been doing well.  :-)  val

I'm from Toronto Western Hospital and they have Optifast recipes and one of them is for"hot chocolate" the recipe is specific and says not to use boiling water but ho****er.......... I had all but my first optifast as "hot chocolate" totally successful and lost 22lbs in 3 weeks

Going to see the surgeon on Apr 24. Do you know how long I'll have to be on the liquid diet before surgery? I've been waiting 19 months. Hope it happens soon.

Hi Gailanne im not sure.  My surgeon has me on it for 4 weeks at 4 shakes a day.  I think it all depends on the Dr and I would asume your weight maybe.  Each Dr. Is different as you will notice throughout these feeds. The type of surgery might have something to do with it as well.  When is your surgery and what type are you having?  :-)  Val

Have not discussed which procedure will done until I see the surgeon. Hoping the surgery is within a couple of weeks after the visit.

Don't want to miss too much golfing LOL

Where do you live?  I live in Elliot  Lake  On.  I had to have a TTeleconference to meet my Surgeon.  He told me that his secretary would call me in a few days well she called the very next day with my durgery date.  That was February 25 and my date was for April 22nd.   But my daughter did not here for about 6-8 weeks after her meeting with the same Surgeon.  I hope you here soon.  :-)  You are on your way!!
