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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
