My hubby is also doing the opti-fast. Surgery Oct. 21. He is drinking 3 a day only. He is allowed clear liqiud 0 to very low calorie food such as diet popscicles, beef broth, diet sods, diet jello. On his paln Dr. said you can have up to five optifast but he stresses he really wants us to stick to 3. So check and see if you can drop the optifast to 3 and add clear stuff. Hubby lost 10 pounds in 6 days. Good luck to you.

I spent two weeks starving to death. There wasn't anything easy about it.

I ate a lot of popsicles, chicken bouillon, Costco protein shakes and all

of a sudden I was 25 lbs. lighter. My wife had me write down everything

I put in my mouth, which kept me from eating anything other than what

I was suppose to. There's no easy way to do it, but It'll be worth it in the

long run. Best of luck.

About two weeks, but I was pretty hungry for those two weeks!
