Medifast is a liquid diet program, typically done under care of health care providers for safety, at one time ONLY available through them, can buy online now: http://www.medifast1.com/index.asp Some WLS Surgeons use it preop (Liro.Clake at Ellis in Schenectady do). SImilar to Optifast etc. Medifast has seemingly branched to other foods vs just shakes... Jamie
