nursemaia 5 Posted October 9, 2012 So I start the Optifast diet in just a few days and I am not looking forward to it at all. I heard it does not taste very good and you feel lousy while on it. Surgery is on 10/29 so I know I have to drink it but I don't want to. Since I only have about a week of normal eating left, I have to admit I am eating everything I can get my hands onto.

DayByDay 123 Posted October 10, 2012 I did Optifast for 8 months and lost 90lbs. So I did not get sick of the taste I'd flavor it up with Torani sugar free syrups. Amazon has a great price on a variety pack right now. Honestly I enjoyed being on that plan. Easy, no choices, and felt great. (First two days are the hardest and then the hunger goes away.) I was hard on my social life, most people felt uncomfortable eating in front of me, even though I did not have a problem with it. Good luck. Envious of your surgery date. Mine is still months away.

Susan 2.0 278 Posted October 10, 2012 I've been on it over a week now & have to agree its very easy. I have 3 shakes & 2 bars a day. I think you'll do fine as long as you have an open mind about it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharonisshrinking 82 Posted October 11, 2012 Today is my day one on Opti-Fast. It's not horrible. Just trying to keep my mind off of it. My surgery is November 8th. Ready to get my life back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
