HOW WIILL I. DO ON OPTI-FAST. !!!!!! HELP !!!!!

The 5 weeks is because of liver problem. I have a fatty liver and have to address that issue. 

My dr. Told me 2 weeks of opti fast due to my weight I guess 

how do they know if you have a fatty liver. 

5 weeks is a long time to have opti. I give you a lot of credit and good for you doing it. 

I should be thankful I only have 2 weeks. 

Good luck to you 

and hope all goes amazing at surgery

Hi Simon

I'm also wondering how I will survive opti so I don't have any advice for you there since I don't pick mine up till the 20th. I did have a question for you if you don't mind me asking. I was told depending on my weight on the 20th I will need 2 - 3 weeks. I weigh 225lbs and have luckily already purchased 2 weeks from other patients that had left overs. How much did u weigh when you were prescribed the 2 weeks of opti? I'm hoping to lose what I can so I only have to do 2 weeks lol. Keep us posted on how you do wih opti and what tastes good. Thanks a bunch.

Hi Amanda : 

yes I start my opti fast in a few days and will have to complete 2 weeks then off to surgery I go Jan 25th 

I was ordered 2 weeks and by what you tell me about your weight I can't see you needing more than 1 week of the opti fast if your only 225 lbs 

that being said its critical that you complete all that you are asked to complete. It's needed to ensure that fat around the liver is reduced. I've heard of 2 people that went to surgery and cancelled due to the liver having too much fat. This is critical as the doctors need to retract the liver to do the surgery. 

Like I said I would be shocked if you need more than one week at your weight. 

Where did you do your program and when is your surgery date. 

Check out the forum as there is a ton of recipes and ideas 

for opti fast. 

Amanda you got this and you will be successful as it sounds you really want this. 

Remember the long term goal 

wish you all the best. Keep in touch and good luck. 

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks so much for the response.  I am 100% dedicated to doing what is necessary I would hate to go through all this only to be sent home operation day. I'm going through HRRH and it's been a hell of a wait. I won't find out my surgery date till January 20th but was told it will likely be the end of February or beginning of March. I am so excited but a little afraid of the opti phase. Definitely keep me posted on how difficult it is and what tastes best. I hope things go very smoothly for you and surgery comes quickly.

Thanks again, 

Amanda 

Yes Amanda HRRH is a long wait 

I went through Windsor and surgery in Guelph. 

I stated the program in April and now surgery in Jan 

it has taken a total of 9 months from start to surgery 

just be aware Amanda this is for you and you alone. I have no doubt you will be successfully in your weight loss journey. 

Keep up the hard work.

The first time I tried opti-fast it was so gross, but in time I came to enjoy it, decaf coffee crystals become my best friend, i had to do opti-fast for 4 weeks.

Don't forget if you add less water it almost taste like pudding and it made me feel fuller than just a shake.
