[Loveskinnyme 41]

Is there anyone on here also having to do three weeks of Optifast shakes? I start on the 29th of May and I am dreading it. :-(

No what is it

[Loveskinnyme 41]

It's a doctor prescribed shake. I had a written prescription to have filled at the pharmacy. It's made by Nestle. I'm only allowed to drink the four shakes each day. That and as much Water as I want. Talk about boring. It's complete nutrition in a shake. I'm supposed to lose 30-40 pounds in three weeks while I'm on it. And it cost me $300 for three weeks worth. Not cheap.

Wow. Does insurance cover any of it. I thought my leanshake were high

[Loveskinnyme 41]

I don't have benefits/private insurance, so I had to pay out of pocket. But I can claim it on next years income tax return, so that'll help a bit.

[hannysgrammy 42]

Yes it will help.

@annymarie Go check out their website. You'll find all kinds of instructions and ideas for how to use their Protein powders.< /p>

Based on my experience, if you get it too hot, it will clump up and not dissolve properly. It doesn't hurt the protein, just makes it clumpy.

I have to buy a package from the doctor's office that costs $250. It is 4 containers of Celebrate, Bariatric Advantage, or Unjury shakes and all the necessary Vitamins and Calcium supplements to get you started.

Mine is scheduled for June 18th. I'm very excited!

WOW that's a lot of weight to lose in 3 wks. I've never heard of Optifast it sounds better than my liquid diet. I get broth sugar free Jello, and Protein Shakes. I start on the 29th also.

We also have to get the vitamins and supplements we will need to take immediately after surgery, and they have to be chewable or liquid form. That cost over $150.00. And I had to switch up some of my regular prescriptions to ones that could either be crushed or in liquid form. And liquid form of my antidepressants was $140.00 vs $20.00. It's been an expensive month with those and all the vitamins and Optifast shakes. But I suppose since I won't be eating regular food, I'll save a bit of money, lol. Also, things are more expensive to buy here in Canada vs the USA.
