Where I am getting my WLS everyone has to do Optifast for 3 weeks. I'm done 2 now (yaaa!). Only one week left. It goes by fast. In 2 weeks - the payoff is I lost 12 lbs. So I'm thrilled.

I had my pre op appointment today at St. Joe's. I'm doing 3 weeks of opti minus 1 day because I just got it today. I understood that I have to do 3 weeks based on the number of previous abdominal surgeries I had. Others who were there today only got 2 weeks.

I guess maybe it could be the blood work or something that determines it. Nice to meet a fellow St Joes person! Good luck!

The length of time your on opti is determined by how much you weigh. Good luck.

I also had to do 3 weeks. I had a hard time with opti but in the end lots of ice and decaf coffee in a blender made it bearable. You can do it!
