Started this optifast pre op diets... And now I have an upset stomach. I am afraid I am going to dehydrated. Everytime I drink one boom I am in the bathroom? Anyone havet this problem?

On day 6 of the Optifast diet and kinda miserable. Saturday was awful' date=' I was starving all day. I finally resorted to a small salad and felt a bit better. Sunday wasn't great either but I wasn't as hungry as yesterday. Maybe I was better with the Water and Snacks. It's all a blurr these days!

Haven't tried the chicken soup but have almost gone through a box of tomato soup. I did add some garlic, onion flakes, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese to make it tolerable. Helped a lot and seems to make you feel fuller than the drinks.

I also have been mixing a vanilla and chocolate drink with some ice and a squirt of chocolate syrup to make "milk shakes" Shared with my boy friend and 3 year old nephew and neither would drink them! Lol. I thought it was pretty good, so it must mean I'm getting used to them!

Are you able to have soups? I'm not and I'm in day 6 also. I cheated on Saturday with soup and salad, I had such a horrible headache and was so hungry.

I also have a cold and Dr. Says I can only have Tylenol, it's been hard drinking the shakes with a sore throat. I hope I'm ok by next Tuesday.

We're almost there!

Mayo's choice of liquid diet is optifast. I have to go back and pick it up tomorrow, but they said no appetite suppressants. I can have 5 shakes a day. They didn't say anything about sf jello or soups or anything else. After reading everything on here I am so afraid I am going to be cheating left and right. I start the diet March 3rd and have to go until March 15th.

Don't worry, Janel… you'll get through it. 5 shakes is a lot. I get to have four a day starting march 4th to 24th. I've heard sooo many people say they can have SF jello and broth while on optifast ( my papers say I can have that too) that I bet if you're realllly hungry, it wouldn't hurt you. But, if you time your shakes, I bet five will get you through the day You Can Do It!!!
