Ottawa surgery patients help with Opti

I am not finding the chocolate Opti to be too bad. I have added banana extract and its quite tasty. I do find that im hungry, I know It will be for a few days and then I will be in ketosis and wont be as hungry. Im trying to figure out how much chicken broth and s/f jello I can have a day. I really want to be successful these next 3 weeks. My surgery is April 23rd in Ottawa. It appears that Ottawa is a little more strict in what you can have during the Opti period.

Any advice from Ottawa patients who did Opti?

I am not from Ottawa but my centre said we could have as much as we wanted... that was 4yrs ago nearly, it may have changed since then... 

I think I was having at least a box to 2 of jello everyday

Do you know who your Dr. will be?                  My surgery date is the 17th of April, with Dr. Amy Neville

Dr. Joe Mamazza is my surgeon

What procedure are you having? Did they give you some guidance with regard to OPTI?

I try and limit me jello to a small bowl once a day and the same for beef broth

I am having RNY. They gave me a booklet but its quite vague. Doesnt give me max amount allowed.

you are in GREAT hands!!!!1 She is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! 

Dr. Neville is wonderful!  She did my surgery last week.  She has wonderful bedside manners and is very kind.

Thanks for your heads up. looking forward to a day without opti ha ha
