Hey there! My surgeon requires I do my 2 week diet with Optifast products. Anyone familiar? If so what's good and are there any flavors or choices to avoid? It seems very expensive and I'm a bit picky about my protein. I hate that "chalky" taste and grit

Is he set in that brand or flexible. My surgeon didn't care as long as my protein meets certain requirements

I actually liked all 3 flavors and also the bars. I did not like the soups. You can add sugar free syrups to them. My favorite was coconut syrup with the chocolate. It tasted like an almond joy. The nut will give you a bunch of examples in the optifast class. The salads really helped me get through the preop diet. Good luck on your journey.

Yes unfortunately they are very strict in brands.

I really liked Optifast products (except the soup, like 'mitzie46'). I used them for nine months in '08. I preferred the ready mix for on-the-go and the powdered for blended drinks at home. My favorites were vanilla mixed w/diet orange soda or diet rootbeer, and crushed ice. The orange tasted like a creamcicle, the rootbeer like a rootbeer float. Yummy!

Thank you so much for the recipes!!!! These are great! Any others that you liked?
