My pre-op diet is a modified Optifast 800. My doctor has instructed me to have 7 servings of Optifast a day, no more than 2 cups of watery veggies a day, and no more than two sugar-free popsicles a day.

Let me be frank. Optifast is kinda meh. I want to be able to improve the flavor of my shakes and soups with what I'm allowed to have (including spices), and I'd like some suggestions.

Sugar-free popsicles are a lifesaver! I don't know Optifast because I've only ever used GNC Lean Shake pre-mades. Good luck finding additives to make them more palatable.
