Not for surgery but as a stand alone "diet" many, many years ago...I called it Opti-famine. I wasn't a fan, although I know many programs use it and I'm sure it's gotten better since I went on the program...I certainly hope so for your sake!

Best of luck!

I am using it for my 3 week pre surgery, I have been on it for the last 2 1/2 weeks.

My dietician wanted me to have 3 meals a day and 1 cup of broccoli/cauliflower with dinner for fibre.

I was on it for three weeks before my surgery - four Optifast 900 shakes/day and sugar-free Jello & Popsicles, etc. I lost about 20 pounds.

I found the best way to get it down was to mix it with ice, instant Decaf coffee and sugar-free syrups. I also chugged it as quickly as possible because it is gross, (more gross?), when it gets warm.
