optifast
My surgeon wanted me to do that, but what with changes to the surgery date I ended up only doing it for three weeks.
I had an Optifast "shake" every morning, and an Optifast "soup" every mid-day for about 20 days. I added a little bit of salt to the soup to give it some flavor.
I was (I think) also supposed to also have some sort of Optifast product for dinner as well, but I never did. Instead, I made a green salad each evening, using mostly iceberg lettuce, and adding some kidney beans, slivered carrots, green onions, a tomato, and often a boiled egg or half a can of tuna fish. I used store-bought, fully-leaded, salad dressing.
During that three week period, I was pretty good about not cheating. The result was that I lost 20 pounds.
That was about 15 months ago. I've done pretty well since then. Good luck.

I had to drink it for 2 weeks pre-surgery, and didn't mind it. I liked it better than protein shakes.

Yep, 4+ weeks. 5 shakes a day plus one small food meal. Wasn't bad at all, just boring.

I had to and I got such good results that I postponed my surgery a bit, I use both optifast and medifast to get more variety. I have found good deals on both Amazon and eBay for both, but one supplier sent me a coupon as well for their site: www.myweightcare.com/shopping

I will say it can be tough the first week only eating the planned meals, but you can do it.
