I got my surgery date! May 26th! Now I have a question- Optifast 2 week diet



Recommended Posts

Yeah! I finally got my surgery date! I am excited and nervous at the same time! I will have to do a 2 week Optifast diet prior to surgery starting on May 12th. Did anyone have to do this specific plan? Is it gross? Will I be starved for the whole 2 weeks? How much weight did you lose on it?

Thanks!

Is a challenge they said after the 4th day it will improve let's see tomorrow... I'm going to school and work, and I don't know how I'm going to make it for this 2 weeks ????

Hi everyone, I'd like to start a group chat for us starting around the same time on this journey.

Let's use a convenient free app to chat.

Whatsapp, kik, icq, Google?

Also I've just started myfitnesspal- will log food and exercise on there. Add me dolphin_flygirl

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I use whatsapp for years. I've never paid but others now tell me that the first year is free and the next year is 99 cents.

It is a great app, for group chats, sending pics, video, audio and I think for our first year will be of tremendous help to all of us. Anyone who would like to join us please download whatsapp.

I will send a private message and you can send me your phone number and I will send you mine or just pm me if you like to join.

We need SUPPORT.

We need ACCOUNTABILITY.

We need MOTIVATION.

Let's begin this journey together.

Hi everyone. I'm starting the same adventure. May 26 Date, go for my pre-op info on the 6th. Very nervous and try to research all the info I can. Would like to stay in touch and know what apps are being used for tracking. I found one caloratio that was developed by a bariatric surgeon. Has anyone tried it?

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
