2 week optifast pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

For those having to do the 2 weeks of Optifast as their pre-op diet...what were your favorite/least favorite options? I see there is a choice between the premade shakes and the powders. If I buy the premade shakes it will cost me 336.00! The powder is cheaper. Are the packets worse? Do they taste different? Do they mix well? Any optifast input is appreciated! Thanks

My drs office offers a sample bag of all the Opti Fast so I got to try all the products. The RTD shakes to me are far better than the powder. The chicken Soup is really good as the Tomato tasted horrible. The bars were pretty bad I could eat the chocolate Peanut Butter one but the other two I could not eat more than a bite or so. I would see if they offer a sample pack. Your lucky to only do a 2 week my dr requires a 4 week diet on it.

I have Optifast that I could sell you. I bought way too much for the diet I was on. I have all packets. chicken noodle, chocolate and strawberry shake, caramel pudding, fruit drink. I have like 12 boxes I could sell for cheap like $60 for all plus shipping!

Thank you for the over but we have to buy our supply from the surgeon's office. It all has to come from them or they wont accept it as the "licensed optifast program" dumb I know. What did you think of the stuff? ready to drink vs powder etc?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
