Is the only place to get this is through a Dr. Can it be bought at a health food store? Just courious....struggling with this liquid diet... thanks for any input

I would go to the nutrition section of this forum and look up some various liquid recipes. I think you can make your own without it being opti-fast but they may still be about the same calories and nutrients as the opti-fast.

Im pretty sure you can't buy it at a health food store. I got mine through my surgeon but I've seen it online on different websites and ebay but it was almost double what I paid through my surgeon.

I don't think you can get it from the store.

On the Optifast website you can locate a distributor. I don't think you have to be a patient of teh doctor to purchase it from them but I don't know.

Just wanted to let you know that optifast has a lower protein count than BA. The ready to shake is juice box size. I heard that BA is pretty good.

Thanks everyone for your relplies...I really appreciate it. I'll check with my surgeon tomorrow and see what he has to say...probably not going to be too happy since I have not been following my liquid diet as good as I should have.
