I have to do 2 weeks of the Optifast liquid diet, almost make me It's been a long 3 days and it's going to be even longer until 6-19, then clear liquids on 6-20. I've figured out I can "tolerate" the vanilla if I add a little instant decaf. But the bars for sure. I have my last pre-op visit with the food nazi tomorrow and will try to get her to let me trade them out for more vanilla, if not I'm gonna try to make her taste one right in front of me maybe that will teach her

((HUG))) its not easy but gonna be so worth it when you on the other side. I put my self on protein shakes pre op to loose weight that my surgeon requires so i know what your going thru. I hated the taste but when made in the blender, added ice cubes, splenda and some chocolate extract i could stomach them better! Play around with them be creative. Also mixining the shakes with carb countdown chocolate milk make them the best. Dunno if your allowed to use that stuff. BUT i did and lost alot of pre op weight fast and now had my surgery complication free. LISA
