I may be a weird one

I loved both

I would add to the vanilla one some ground cinnamon and clove with chocolate high quality dark chocolate powder and some hot ground pepper... loved it. I could only have 3 a day

i am left with some :( not sure if I could add a scoop in my water for the protein phase after surgery? I will enquire and let you know

still tomorrow to go and done :)

I don't think you can. I read all the documentation and it emphasizes having the 4 a day so I've been doing that. Until ketosis kicks in I'm relying on broth and gum to curb the hunger

This girl, you are allowed to add spice and cacao powder to your opti fast 900. There is no carbs in cinnamon nor in pure cacao.

You should have 4  a day however, I couldn't make it. I also had sugar free jello and chicken broth

i have ketostick and I check it every day and I am in full ketose

No sorry I meant adding it to your post op diet. I read somewhere that it isn't a protein shake power say.

I have the sticks. Can't wait till they test positive! 

At this point I've been needing the 4 for sure. I'm starving all the time and I'm on day 2.

Oh... thanks :) I missread you. I know I am not allowed the opti fast 900 - entire pack but do you know if I can use like a tea spoon of it? I am waisting more than a box :(

its all good, I have all my protein powder and premier already bought. I have my oj and apple juice and sugar free jello

it does get better day three you won't be hungry anymore 

i  could only have 3 a day and one day, I forgot to have one for lunch ;)

courage sweetie ... it gets better

:)

Thanks so much!! ?

It wouldn't hurt to ask. Or you can post on here to see if anyone wants to buy it off you.  A bunch in Ottawa on this thread. 

Btw, I picked up Starbucks via decaf instant tonight and it was heavenly with the vanilla. It might be my every morning shake from now on. This is all worth it. I was craving food tonight and I kept telling myself it will get better!!

This girl

The weekends are harder. Happy you found something you enjoy. I love adding essences also, banana, caramel , maple and coconut :)

My understanding is optifast is not ok post surgery because it thickens.  I hated it so I never drank it and switched to another protein drink.  I have 4 boxes of it here that I am just going to throw out.  :(
