Anyone Do Optifast Lite Despite Being Told Optifast Full?

[DonTony 0]

Maybe Im just thickheaded and do what I want to anyway :biggrin: But here's my situation.

Im going to be banded on 10/7. To get a heads start, I started Optifast Lite a month ago. 4 shakes and 1 light meal at dinnertime. I lost about 20 pounds.

Now Im 2 weeks before surgery and my nutritionist wants me to do Optifast full. (5 Shakes and no light meal). However, I was told that the nutritionist advises Optifast full to everyone.

Since I already lost 20 pounds this month, do you think it would make a major difference if I had the light meal every night? Ive stuck to grilled chicken or tuna with a salad and fat free dressing almost every day.

Im just curious if anyone chose on their own to go Optifast light even though they were told Optifast full.

Thanks for any feedback.

I would always suggest following your surgeon/nutritionists recommendations. Why not ask if you can modify it? Then, do what they say.

Best wishes,
