I still have not started OPTIFAST, but I do want to provide you kudos for your weight loss! Surgery is just around the corner.

Do you have a way to check your blood sugar? I was getting that feeling and when I tested my blood sugar it had dropped to 3.8. Just a thought. :)

1st thing is congrats on the weight loss so far! Today is my first day on optifast so I have not yet experienced any pros or cons to it. As for your cold sweats and shakes it could be one of two things 1st low blood sugar or 2nd constipation pains. I personally think you should test your sugar and see it that is the cause as previously said.Keep us post and keep up the good work.

Could potentially be a vasovagal response to dehydration. Are you drinking lots of water along with your optifast?
