Hi all!

I'm officially 3 weeks away from RNY surgery and start my Opti tomorrow! I was wondering if using tea (cooled down) instead of of plain water in your Opti is okay? I emailed my nutritionist but it's Sunday so she's not in the office. I was thinking of 0 calorie chai tea in the vanilla and peppermint tea in the chocolate.

Anyone try this? I also bought caramel extract and almond extract.

I think it would be ok ~ I might have to try that myself!

I used chai and peppermint in mine. It's zero calorie and you are allowed to drink it so doesn't matter if you use it instead of water. I used cold coffee in many of them as well.
