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?

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 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! 😞
