I did Optifast years ago and loved it. I made so many different concoctions with sugar free syrups and ice and lost lots of weight.

Drink tons of water. The bars can be dangerous. Ooh ooh I remember what I did. I took and bar and sliced it into many pieces and put it in the freezer. When I wanted a snack I took out a frozen piece and it was great (like a little peanut chew)!

If the doctor's office said six servings a day, you have to do six servings a day.

What is optifast? And what is that for? Pre-op diet???

I lost 50lbs on optifast. I did liquids (shakes, broth, water) for 4 months! It's amazing how full you'll feel off just those liquids. I suggest mixing in some fiber. I was horribly constipated :(
