Thanks everyone I'm so excited!! Awesome we are surgery buddies lol we will have to stay in touch and maybe catch up after our surgies! I really love all the positive feedback... Now I'm wondering if I should haven gotten both flavours of Opti?

I love the vanilla way more, so many options. The  lime sugar free jello in it is amazing. It is just like getting spoiled with milkshake. I am in Mississauga, where abouts are you located.

I'm in London , not far at all. Do u put just the lime jello powder in it or mix it with the jello once it's made....sounds delish

That sounds awesome using the sugar free lime jello in the vanilla Opti....sadly I am with Guelph and during Opti we can't have jello....just Opti, decaf black coffee or tea ( YUCK), water and 1/2 cup of chicken or beef broth a day!! Thankfully my surgeon has me on it for 1 week only...which also makes me nervous as I see so many take it for 2 or 3 weeks...so even though I am officially to start Opti on Tuesday July 7th, this week I am using my own protein shakes, jello and clear fluids..kind of a practice for next week...I wish you all the best and it would  be great to stay in touch....I am in Kitchener :)

Are you not allowed to add flavors to your opti? It is just the powder from the sugar free jello. I have been on it 11 days and have lost 11 pounds..We are allowed broth as well and tea and coffee and pre made sugar free jello as well. 

Good Luck to you!

Just put half of the powder from one pack of any flavor  sugar free jello into the blender with approx 4-5 icecubes, 300ml of water , and blend it up. The orange jello makes it taste like creamsicle, the strawbeery makes it just like a cherry shake etc..When I added the orange jello to the chocolate, I thought it was identical to Terry's orange chocolate that you can buy around Christmas time. I have actually found the Opti very easy to be honest.
