2 weeks diet
optifast is prescribed by your surgeon and it is used 2-3 weeks before you surgery, it is a protein shake, you have 4 per day.. and only allowed broth, sugar free jellos,, black coffee.. no solid food,, i believe at one time it was used solely for weightloss but is now used for weighloss before surgery, it helps take the fat of the liver before surgery or so i'm told, i will tell you, six days on the opit and i am down seven pounds, i never feel hungry, its amazing,, hoping to be a total of 10 before my surgery next week, thats 10 less i have to lose afterwards, if you go on the ontario forum you will see all hospitals in ont use this, i know every surgeon is different, and some allow you to eat celery, but this is what i am on and now my panties are getting to big..lol.. good luck to all that is having the surgery, i can't wait for next tuesday, the start of new things, and i'm coming home to nfld in july .. miss it so much..
