Optifast Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Hey guys!

I am about to start the Optifast 2 week diet on Monday! I am super nervous/excited! For those of you who used the Optifast diet, how much did you loose in the 2 weeks? Also, did you work out as well? Thanks

Been drinking just Optifast shakes for 19 days now and am down 16 pounds since I started.

I drink 5 a day. One every 3 hours and I haven't been hungry.

Look out if you are prone to Constipation though. It makes for some rock hard turds.

Where are you moving to in Dallas?

Thanks about the 'number 2' info LOL! I graduate in May, but my lease isn't up until the end of July. So somewhere between May and July but I don't have an exact date yet. I'm really excited and can't wait to get out of Mississippi! I'm a big city girl for sure!

I just had my surgery on the 25th. On my 2 week Opti-fast diet I lost 18 lbs. in 15 days. I did work out but not regularly. I too was drinking 5 shakes per day but I was extremely hungry. I did manage, however, to not cheat. Good luck.

I was allowed 5 shakes & 2 bars a day, I'll be honest and say that most days I didn't get in the 5 shakes. I didn't work out. I lost 14 lbs in 12 days. Oh...and on the #2 end (lol) I was the complete opposite of Btrieger! :wink2:

I did the 5 shakes a day and lost 16 pounds in my 2 weeks. I didn't work out at all because I really had no energy. That was the worst part. I wasn't hungry but by the end of the work day I was totally wiped out.

ok so as of today i am down 10lbs for my first week of optifast!!! I am soooo happy! it was only hard until day 3, then it didnt bother me. i absolutely hate the Soups, so i am only drinking the shakes. i am suppose to drink 5 a day, but i am only drinking 2-3 because i have to gag them down. i know i should drink all of them, its really hard tho. my goal for the second week of the liquid diet is to drink 4-5 a day. i also started building a house this weekend, so i think the physical exercise def helped my weight loss

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
