I LOve MY Opti-fast

Use your imagination. to vanilla  add cinnamon  nutmeg  vanilla etc  Choclate add coffee make a mocha  or peppermint.  experiment.  You can add crystal lite  I have been on it 5 days now. never had two the same.      Doris QC    Oh yeah you need the majic bullet and ice.

Add sf orange flavoring (or a sf orange pop) to vanilla and  you make a dreamsicle. Add a sf root beer pop and you have a root beer float. Add pineapple and coconut and you have a mock pina colada. I used to do the coffee and sf flavorings a lot ... still do. Check out eggface, she has a lot of good recipes. Do you know her?

no I don't know her.  how do I reach her.  great ideas. after today I have 7days. Do you know if you stop the shakes the day before. I read that somewhere. Clear broths the day before.  Can't remember where I saw it. thanks for the tips.  Love new ideas. So far it has been great. Support group is wonderful.     Doris QC.

Doris:

Eggface is a blog; she had WLS and comes up with a lot of recipes ... shakes, etc. here's the link:

As for stopping the shakes the day before, every surgeon is different. My bariatric center had us on a program with shakes, bars, juices, meals ... but 800 calories and all their product for 2 weeks pre-op. Other docs do clear liquids and then have you do an enema or something to clean you out ... not to scare you. But like I said, everyone is different. Follow what your doc wants.

Thanks Eileen   very good. sharing is so much fun.     Doris  QC.
