more nervous...

I've got to do opti-fast too for 2 weeks prior.

Hi Im June 28th- Hope to be prepared. I see your doctor recommended Optifast. My doctor did not recommend that. He sent me to the Nutritionist who gave me a shopping list...but no Optifast ...

I'm surprised about the optifast because it's so high in sugar and low in Protein

It's going, it's been a struggle not going to lie. I've been on 4-5 shakes a day and I'm constantly thinking of food. Like salivating @ the site of chicken

It will all be worth it in the end. Just as of now, my hunger pains are severe. Lost 11 pounds already

I was told any shake less then 300 calories and more than 20 grams of Protein was OK. No more than 1200 daily calories. I have to start my liquid multi Vitamin and liquid Calcium 2 weeks prior too. (from New York)

I have to buy the Optifast from my surgeon's practice directly so I think that may be why? I'm from New York too! Surgeon is on Long Island
