Optifast Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Hey guys!

I am about to start the Optifast 2 week diet on Monday! I am super nervous/excited! For those of you who used the Optifast diet, how much did you loose in the 2 weeks? Also, did you work out as well? Thanks

Been drinking just Optifast shakes for 19 days now and am down 16 pounds since I started.

I drink 5 a day. One every 3 hours and I haven't been hungry.

Look out if you are prone to Constipation though. It makes for some rock hard turds.

Where are you moving to in Dallas?

Thanks about the 'number 2' info LOL! I graduate in May, but my lease isn't up until the end of July. So somewhere between May and July but I don't have an exact date yet. I'm really excited and can't wait to get out of Mississippi! I'm a big city girl for sure!

I just had my surgery on the 25th. On my 2 week Opti-fast diet I lost 18 lbs. in 15 days. I did work out but not regularly. I too was drinking 5 shakes per day but I was extremely hungry. I did manage, however, to not cheat. Good luck.

I was allowed 5 shakes & 2 bars a day, I'll be honest and say that most days I didn't get in the 5 shakes. I didn't work out. I lost 14 lbs in 12 days. Oh...and on the #2 end (lol) I was the complete opposite of Btrieger! :wink2:

I did the 5 shakes a day and lost 16 pounds in my 2 weeks. I didn't work out at all because I really had no energy. That was the worst part. I wasn't hungry but by the end of the work day I was totally wiped out.

ok so as of today i am down 10lbs for my first week of optifast!!! I am soooo happy! it was only hard until day 3, then it didnt bother me. i absolutely hate the Soups, so i am only drinking the shakes. i am suppose to drink 5 a day, but i am only drinking 2-3 because i have to gag them down. i know i should drink all of them, its really hard tho. my goal for the second week of the liquid diet is to drink 4-5 a day. i also started building a house this weekend, so i think the physical exercise def helped my weight loss

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
