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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
