Optislim vs optifast



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

This is a question I've asked and many have said Optifast is better because of less sugar. I did a little research and these are the latest comparisons because optifast HAVE CHANGED SIZE. Before, they were lower, however, now these are the results. I will be using the opticslim I've already purchased before my op. My dietician also recommended energise drinks which are very high in sugar too...at least optislim is lower in fat!

I'm also using benefibe in my water bottle once a day, can't taste it at all.

Hope this helps. Optifast WAS better but not since it changed. Now it is on par. I am in Australia by the way!

Of course, always check with your nut if you are concerned.

Good luck everybody! My op is on April 8... Getting excited!

That's good to know - thanks for sharing as I know they have different flavours too. I must check the Vitamin values though.

So not long for you now - hope you are feeling as excited as I am, I just wish I could get it over and done with but alas I still have 6 days longer than you :-). Go hard on your pre op diet I've got 3 weeks down and two to go and have to say my espresso shot in my morning shake makes that first one of the day bearable. Look forward to reading about your journey.

Thanks! Yep, countdown is on! Very excited and not doing too bad at pre-op. I'm weening myself off foods and should be total liquid by tomorrow. Well done with yours! Good practise for afterwards and should be easier by then. I love the mint choc in optislim. I'm drinking energize x2 too, rec by my dietitian. Don't think chuppa chupsare though...whoops! Getting serious now though. Shopping for high Protein foods to blend after for soft food stage. Will keep you posted...this time next week I should be done...gulp!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
