OptiFast vs. Bariatric Advantage

Should I save the money and go with Bariatric Advantage... or is OptiFast worth the money??:thumbup:

I have to be on these for 6 weeks. Thats a total of $600 if I got with OptiFast.

Optifast is worth the money!!! It's delicious.

BA taste like dirty bathwater. :thumbup:

PS. It's an awful long drive from Big Spring to Colleyville but Dr Kim and his staff are definitely worth it as well!!

I am leaving this Sunday to head that way. My appt. is on Monday to start my class and my diet. Dr.Kim is def worth the drive. I wouldn't trust any of our "doctor" around here.

I guess Optifast it is. I just have a very hard time parting with money for myself. exspecially for drinks!! lol.

Surgery is the 29th!! Cant wait!:thumbup:

I'm not happy with BA's Protein Meal Replacements, can't wait to get through them (since I bought them).

But I love their Vitamins - Vitaband (lemon creme) and the Calcium lozenges (very cherry) tastes like a sweet tart.

If you lived closer, I'd offer to give you a package of the strawberry Optifast to try but you'll just have to take my word for it.

I did nothing but Optifast shakes for 4 straight weeks; did not cheat once and was not hungry at all.

The smallest quantity they will sell is a box of 7 for $20. Since they don't give or sell samples, you can either buy a box and try it there or take your chances and buy a couple weeks' worth.

Thanks for the offer! Wish I did live closer!!! living so far away sucks, just a bit:thumbdown:.

When Dr.Kim did your surgery... what was ur day of surgery like? shots in the stomach, hip? after surgery???

Surgery was scheduled for noon. I showed up at 11. Filled out; filled out minimal paperwork; waited in the waiting room for 15 minutes.

The brought me to a pre-op room; I got undressed; put on a johnny; they started an IV; I laid back on the bed and watched Private Benjamin.

The next thing I know, they are waking me up and handing me a small cup of crushed ice with a spoon. I ate a little of that and they had me sit up, then walk around the room a little; made me drink some barium in front of an xray machine; handed me some instructions; had me get dressed and I let.

Actually very eventless and boring. I was expecting something more dramatic.

Ha ha, I'm glad to see someone else feels the same about the BA flavors! :tt2: I tried the chocolate, vanilla, and banana, and HATED them all :thumbup:; finally I resorted to "cheating" with diabetic Medifast shakes (which are delicious compared to BA).

Hi I live in Dallas and i wish i could sell you the optifast shakes at a discount of course. Dr. Kim is my surgeon and i had to buy those shakes too. I didnt care for them much because i already liked a different brand protein shake before the pre-opt diet. What a waste of money because i didnt even drink them.

I'm going to order the starter pack from optifast for $20. Good way to see if I like them. Here's the link if you want to try the starter pack
