Wow... I just found out this week that I have to lose 10-15 lbs. before surgery (Nov. 2nd). How did I miss that little detail? I'm scared to death that my surgeon will cancel me because I haven't done it. I see him in a little over a week... and I'm only down 4 lbs. Any helpful hints as to how I can manage this... I feel beaten already, and like I'll be a failure at this too... and be flunked by the WLS surgeon. Please, please... help... lynnie

Hey Lynnie, I have a weight loss plan that is difficult but works very well. You should have no problem losing 6 more pounds if you stay on it. Email me [email protected] and I will give you the basic plan to stick to. Maggie

Hi!! My Dr. put me on Optifast for the month prior to my surgery...Its a little pricey, but it sure works!! I started on the 13th and I am already down 10 lbs!!!! For a week supply its about 65.00, but it sure seems to be working!! You can do it!!!!

My surgery date is November 18th and I was wondering if I should ask my physician for this product? Do you have to have a prescription? I am thinking this is a type of nutrition supplement drink - correct? I want to do everything correct but I will not see my surgeon again until the 8th which will be 10 days before my surgery. Thanks for any information you can give me. Sherry B. Valley, AL.

My doctors office has it there and that is where I purchase it from. I don't think they come prescription wise.....but I can tell you, they DO sell it on ebay too! I just have to get it from my dr. Call your dr. and see what they say...maybe they have it available. They are full of protein. The shakes have 35 grams of protein and 250 cal. and I think 3.5 fats and the bars have 150 calories, 15 grams of protein and 5 grams of fat. I have to have a bar and a shake together 3 times per day. Its like a 1,200 calorie diet with HIGH protein and a good reasonable fat also!! Heck it seems to be working. These are the same things I will have to drink afterwards as a supplement until I can get enough protein etc...
