Optifast



Recommended Posts

My husband and I were banded on Dec. 29th. For two weeks prior, we used the Optifast and drank Clear Liquids. Now, we are on clear liquids only. We have our first post op visit tomorrow and can begin creamed Soups, yogurt, etc. We have two brand new boxes of Optifast that have never been opened (vanilla - expires June 2011) (chocolate - expires August 2011). Is there anyone in the central Florida area that might be interested in buying it? I asked the doctor about returning it, but according to state law, they can not accept the return.

Is there a reason you and your husband don't want to drink it post surgery? If it were me, I would probably use it on the days when I am too busy to prepare a meal or when I am on the run; you know, something to keep in your purse should you get hungry and not able to find an appropriate meal. Just a thought.

Thanks for your thoughts, Fran. First of all, we were not permitted to drink it for two weeks post op. I suppose we could use it after that, however, since we're both retired, I don't think it will be any problem eating at home.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
