Week 3 post-op
Apr 16, 2012
Starting week 3 and I have had so far pouched egg, melba toast, tuna, chicken, mash potatoes, peas, mine you all pureed and yogurt and milk. All is good and I'm toleranting it all. This is so great, love my pouched egg. Weight is down to 287lbs. from 305lbs. after surgery. Optifast weight was 297lbs.
The only thing that is bothering me is my back and ribs, very sore at times.
Will be going to the support group meeting tomorrow night in Whitby, can't wait.
Life is GOOD.

This is what I found about Optifast
Mar 27, 2012
I did do some research on the Optifast 900, and what is in it, here is what I found.
Calories: 200 Fiber: 0g
Protein: 26g Vitamins & Minerals: 35% of RDI*
Carbs: 10g Lactose: < 1g
Sodium: 480mg
Potassium: 800mg
Ingredients (Vanilla): Whey Protein Concentrate, Milk Protein Isolate, Maltodextrin, Canola Oil (BHA/BHT to Maintain Freshness), Fructose, Dextrose, High Oleic Sunflower Oil, and less than 2% of Potassium Citrate, Salt, Dipotassium Phosphate, Calcium Phosphate, Cellulose Gum, Magnesium Oxide, Potassium Chloride, Natural and Arifical Flavour, Choline Bitartrate, Mono- and Diglycerides, Acesulfame Potassium, Ascorbic Acid, Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate, Aspartame*, Ferrous Sulfate, Zinc sulfate, Vitamin A Palmitate, Niacinamide, Copper Gluconate, Calcium Pantothernate, Vitamin K1, Manganese Sulfate, Vitamin D3, Thiamine Hydrochloride, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Riboflavin, Chromium Chloride, Folic Acid, Biotin, Potassium Iodide, Sodium Molybdate, Sodium Selenite, Vitamin B12.
The reason I did this; is because my family doctor wanted to know what was in it, and the packages or box have NO information or ingredients or nutritional values.

Day 6 on Optifast
Mar 19, 2012
Started that Optifast on March 14 and now down to 307 from my highest weight of 325. The shakes are getting easier to take, but I wishes I had ordered more of the chocolate to replace the vanilla. Surgery date April 4th.

Will be starting my Optifast next week. And I may have a brain fart right now; but besides the shake what can I eat? I know this was covered in nutrition class; just wanting to know what other people are eating and how much and how often.
