OPTIFAST INFO

IS THERE ANYONE WHO IS ON THE DIET OR HAVE BEEN ON IT? CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME INFO ABOUT HOW WAS IT ? EASY TO STICK TO, OR HARD. I HAVE TO BE ON IT FOR 1 MONTH BEFORE SURGERY TO SHRINK MY LIVER , STOMACH .

I was on optifast years ago. The shakes were really, really, really bad. They were hard to gag down - but that might have changed. The program was also extremely expensive. Now, I am SURE it has changed. I was on it years and years ago (remember when Oprah lost all that weight on it???). It must have gotten better - so many things over the past 10-15 years have just gotten better. Good luck with your diet! Preop diet is tough, but not impossible!!! Trust me, if I can do it, ANYONE can do it! Love, Tammy

I did Medi fast...same stuff..different day...once I got through the first three days, I was not really all that hungry anymore , as long as I did not get around food or restaurants etc...I had to drink the stuff 6 times a day...they also offered a one meal a day option and all kinds of "products" to go with it..."soups" "desserts" "diet bars" "snacks"...and they all pretty much tasted like vitamin pills...the chocolate was not bad in the shakes and you could buy sugarless oils and flavorings to sweeten the concoctions....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ KACHING KACHING !!! Don't know if Optifast will have all of thses bells and whistles....but I do know that if I got in all my shakes and drank all of my water..I was not sufferring with hunger after about three days....I lost 80 pounds on it in about 2 and a half months...daily calory intake was about 500......problem was the MINUTE I started eating regular food..the weight krept back on..and I am positive I also lost my gallbladder for my pains... Got yourself one of those "shrink the liver" guys heh? Best of luck to you on your journey! Sher'
