khuuxo 10 Posted October 14, 2016 Day 5 of Optifast. Is it normal to be using the washroom so much? This is insane. I drink a shake and then have to go like 5 minutes later. Wow Sent from my SGH-I317M using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thisisthenewme 358 Posted October 14, 2016 I did read in the material that was a side effect, and I found after a couple days on them with nothing else that happened to me. I have to eat something every two days of so to avoid the effects so much. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pattycaketoo 133 Posted October 15, 2016 I'm doing the slim fast high Protein 4 times a day and you'd think I take a laxative everyday and very gassy. Still have 9 days to go of this. I can have broth and Jello too with a 300 calorie meal at lunch. It's horrible. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thisisthenewme 358 Posted October 15, 2016 Yes the diet is to shrink your liver and normally for 2-3 weeks. The Canadian Optifast diet is very strict. No additional food other then sf Popsicles and Jello. I was on it for 3 weeks. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
