OPTIFAST diet
Wow must be nice to have options. I am currently on my 8th day of Opti Fast and the only choice I had was the chocolate or vanilla powdered shake that you have to mix yourself with very cold water. I actually mix mine in a blender so that its smooth, and add ice cubes. As for the bars, I was never told these existed. The only other things I have been consuming are chicken broth, sugar free jello, green tea, water, and diet pop. The first 4 days were hard, I was starving, but thankfully its getting easier every day. Keeping busy is very helpful.
I am currently on optifast, and my nut told me I could use sugar free torani syrups. So with the chocolate I mix the powder with one teaspoon of decaf instant coffee and 1tsp of caramel sf torani syrup. I blend it with ice it is soon good. I put sf raspberry in the vanilla powder, and vanilla sf syrup in the strawberry powder. I can only stomach the tomato soup, and the bars are good!! I was also told I could have 2 sf jellos a day, 2-4 sf Popsicles a day and 2 cups of cucumber,lettuce, green pepper,and celery mixed together with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar. My surgery is in 3 weeks....I am soon excited!!
