Curse you 4th opti shake of the day!

So I'm on my third day of opti and while i love the taste after the third shake of the day I'm finding it hard to finish the 4th shake. I'm just not hungry at this point.  

At what point on opti did you start to see the scale move? I'm actually up a pound since i started and i have not strayed or even added the allowed extras(broth , SF jello etc) I'm strictly shakes and three crystal lite and water drinks at this point. 

Lastly if I happen to have left over opti post op are they considered a acceptable protein shake post op?  The Choc tastes so good :)

 I see the 4th opti shake conundrum a lot.

Quite a few people find that breaking that last one up into 2 smaller "snacks" throughout the day works for them. As well, some make it into a "pudding" consistency.

Usually not okay after surgery (protein-carb ratio is not the best).

Hi Keith

me too only 3 a day...I am having jello and cucumbers...going to bed early every night too high carb for after

I am on day 26 of 27 of Opti and yes that 4th shake is tough to get in after a while. I make sure I get in at least three for sure and try for a 4th but 90% of the time it doesn't happen.

I was carrying a lot of water so the scale moved pretty fast for me. BUT weight loss is not necessarily the primary goal of Opti so just stay on track and you will see changes and feel better.

Lastly, No you cannot have it after surgery - you will have to find another chocolate one to like. I would talk to your dietician but they will tell you the same thing.

Thx for the replies,

I've already stocked up on premier protein pre mixed shakes and some unjury powder as well so i'm all set. 

Was just really surprised about how good the choc opti tastes!

I only ever did 3 shakes a day.  Don't buy too many premier protein shakes because if you are like many of us you will find you get sick of them after surgery-I can't even stand to look at them now and gave away two casses.  Good luck!  Time is going to move fast now.

I blended it with ice and it tasted like a Wemdy's frosty!

where do you buy the unjuruy powder please?

Same place i buy the majority of my vits http://www.opurity.com/store/multivitamin/opurity-bypass-opt imized-multi-vitamin.html

I rarely could get the 4th shake in. By evening I was sick of them and preferred not to even have one. That chemical aftertaste is just n.a.s.t.y.
