Opti-Fast

[Luce3 9]

Hello again all, I start my Optifast on the 3rd of October and I was wondering if anyone had any sort of plan, or example of their diet over the 2 weeks, I know each optifast replaces one meal, but I feel like I need to see some diet plans to help me know what amount is best

Ta!

Generally you drink 1 Optifast for Breakfast, 1 for lunch and then depending on your Dr's instructions you may be allowed some low carb veg for dinner.< /p>

Hi, I was instructed to go on Optifast for 2 weeks prior to surgery.

1st week I was allowed any of the Optifast range and told to have a reasonable serve of vegies each day. I drank the liquid shakes for breakfast, typically blending them with some ice. lunch i would have a shake and some vegies, or a optifast bar (there was 2 choc based ones i preferred from memory) as i found come lunch I wanted to chew something. dinner was the shake or a bar if I was out. I typically only had the vegies at a time i had a shake. I made some to ratatouille, salsa, salad or vegetable Soups to eat for my serve of vegies.

2nd week was the same, with the last 2 days to be liquids shakes only prior to surgery.

I recall drinking a ton of Water to starve off the hunger, with a few herbal teas as well.

Optifast also has a chicken or Tomato Soup mix which I found a nice change from eating all sweet things. I got them in Amazon. Same stats as the shakes.

I am on a strict Optifast diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery. I am only allowed 4 shakes a day with one cup of vegetables/day and tons of Water. Out of everything this is what stresses me out the most. I start this friday!

so you can't have any of the bars or Soups or Desserts? cause I'm fairly sure I can have all of those things, as well as the shakes, but just wasn't sure how much a day

not as per my surgeon. he doesn't offer the bars or soups strictly the shakes. vanilla or chocolate. that's it that's all. it's going to be a looooooooong 2 wks.

My drs office didn't offer the Soups either but I asked the question & they were find with it.

Good Luck!
