Snacking between meals during pre op phase?

As others have suggested...

There are some veges you can eat which are allowed...snack on those. Ut's very important to stick to the opti phase as much as possible.

I counted down opti meals...every one down was one closer to the surgery.

Good luck

yep fill up on water or vege soup!

anything sugary/sweet will make you crave and feel hungry and them youll want to eat eat eat.So avoid at all costs!

Didn't snack at all..

Drink water or cordial and be strong.

I made up soup out of stock cubes and greens... baby spinach and brocolli and cauli flower. I also made up diet jelly with half the water suggested so it was really rubbery.

Now as sad and unintersting as these things sound... they were excellent snacks and all legal...and filling.

You can save half an opti bar for your morning or arvo tea and have half of it for lunch with your soup which leaves the other half for the arvo...which is the worst time for the nibbles. Have it with a coffee and it will fill you and take the edge of the hunger.

Are suitable snacks allowed during the Optifast pre op phase?

On workdays, I have breakfast at 6am, lunch at 1pm and dinner at 6pm. Break times are 10.30am and 3.30pm.
