Medifast 5 & 1 Plan

[evewinston 1]

I'm scheduled for surgery on the 24th of May and I was curious about a program called medifast that have meal plans and products tailored for bariatric patients. Have anyone tried this program and if so how do the food taste?

I did it for my pre-op diet. It pretty well sucks in my opinion, but I lost 8 lbs in two weeks (I was at a lower BMI to start). My doc was very impressed with my achievement and told my DH that he could tell I stuck to it by the looks of my liver. It was very small and easy for him to maneuver around during the surgery, making it much safer for me.

I did like the fact that it allowed for a "lean and green" meal each day, so I got to eat some real food.

Thanx for the information.

My daily schedule is so hectic I'm use it having most of my meals on the go. I guess I'm just not use to preparing meals ahead of time and the medifast program was gonna help me where time is concerned. Its going to take some hard work on my part to slow down and pay more attention to what I'm eating. I guess I'll sample a few of their products.
