So I have been on the Optifast now for 7 days and I can't seem to stop throwing up. I have doctored the shake as much as I am allowed, sipped it, gulped it, chilled it and blended it. I am supposed to drink 4 a day but I can barely get in 2 shakes and I usually throw them up.... WHAT DO I DO? Is this going to be a problem for surgery? Im set to have it done on Feb 6, 2015 and I'm getting a little worried. Anyone have a similar situation and advice?

You may have allergy to something that is in that shake. Call the doc.

Call your surgeon and let him/her know. Ask for something else that you can use.

Take care!
