That's not on my opti diet, but I think I will call tomorrow to see if I can.  I also saw sugar free hard candies I'm going to ask about to help freshen my breathe too.....

thank you!  I will see if I can find it there too.  I am allowed to add any extracts mint, almond, vanilla, etc.  I'll double check with my dietitian first. Appreciate it.

I'm on day 4. My surgery date is Dec 2nd in Hamilton with Dr Anvari. i have a total of 3 weeks on opti. I  got the Torani sugar free syrups from ECS coffee. So far my favourite is raspberry syrup with the chocolate.  I'm glad I can have the 2 cups of vegetables a day. I've made a cauliflower soup which has helped with the hunger.

Day 10 done, it hasn't been that hard. Getting the shakes down easy especially the vanilla now that I had mango drops. I don't feel hungry I sometimes salivate over some foods I am cooking but I have not cheated once.. not a nibble. The first few days I lost 4lbs, (total 45lb lost) How's everyone else doing?
