So hungry on Optifast

Based on what I'm reading in these comments why would anyone pay the kind of money that Optifast requires to literally starve yourself. Eat real food, control the portions, and you will loose weight in a much more healthy way.

She hasn't had surgery yet. This is for a preop and postop liquid diet. Surely you arent telling her to ignore her surgeon's rules?

ChrisFB: Please ignore this post as btm61 has not had bariatric surgery, does not believe in it, and is unfamiliar with pre & post-op instructions provided by our surgeons.

Marina Girl,

You are correct, I don't know much about pre-and post- op procedures,so how about educating me rather than stick to your completely wrong view of my beliefs about surgery. I know many people who have lost tremendous amounts of weight and kept it off afterwords. All that I have EVER said is that there is also a percentage of people, nearly 50% in one study I saw, that gain all of the weight and more back. In those cases it is clear that those folks used the surgery as a "quick-fix", "microwave" solution to their problem and never took the time to learn the other aspects of weight loss, like eating and exercising in a healthy manner.

Your "facts" are wrong.

You should educate yourself before you dispense dangerous advice.

Rather than casting aspersions, how about you show me where I'm wrong.

I don't do research for trolls.

Then I'm left to believe that you have nothing except your word against my study. Nice try though.

I don't believe you're educatable; therefore, I pass on trying.

And, seriously, don't let a random mansplaining troll who is just here trying to stir up crap and then claim "BUT MY FIRST AMENDMENT!!!!" assign you homework.
