Optifast flavourings, dental visits, and broth Oh My!
on 10/22/17 8:52 am
Can we use the Torani syrups or will that make them too sweet? Jello? Lemon or lime juices? Drink flavours (those squeezable things)? What was your fave?
Also I have a dental appt (just regular cleaning) that will fall right smack dab in the middle of optifast. Should I move it up before or wait until after surgery altogether?
Can I drink broth as a snack during Optifast?

I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
Man, use whatever syrup that makes it not suck, but stick to sugar-free versions.
Being on Optifast will have no hindrance on a dental checkup, so no need to reschedule. There will probably be less crap between your teeth, which will please the hygenist.

I like DaVinci much better than Torani. This is my favorite
I also like their peppermint sugar free syrup with chocolate protein drinks and root beer flavor with vanilla drinks.
I set up a bakers rack that had holders for wine. I had my protein powders, Magic Bullet and blender cups on the top and my syrups where the wine bottles belonged.
My cousin came over and saw all the new bottles in the wine rack and was so disappointed when she read the labels.
Find flavors you like and use them after surgery for protein shakes and sugar free flavoring.

It's a great day to be alive.
