Yesterday, I started the last leg of my journey to having my Gastric Bypass surgery. I have been put on a program called OptiFast. Optifast is a prescription meal replacement program where you have 4 shakes a day and drink a hefty amount of calorie free beverages. To say the least, these shakes are gross. They smell like baby formula and have the consistency of a melted milkshake. I know its only day two, so I am giving myself the benefit of the doubt, but I don't think I can drink these straight for the next 3 months. I did mix one yesterday with ice and cold coffee in the blender and it was palatable, so maybe some experimenting is in my future.
I will update you as my struggle rears on...
