Optifast Side Effects



Recommended Posts

Yep, your right but in my best tantrum script "I DONT WANT IT I DONT WANT IT" guess I have been lucky all these years. My blood pressure also bottomed out to 85/55 today went to the nurse at school she suggested I see the Dr. Went to the Dr and he didnt seem overly worried he said if Im not feeling faint then low blood pressure is good, ok.

Well, I come on line to see what is happening and here you are having a tanty - I suppose you are lying on the floor screaming and kicking your feet??? :teeth_smile:

You better be careful, they might put you on Opti for an extra week :drool:

Its the hungry b***h in me throwing a mega whinge about anything and everything (my poor students). This must be how Posh Spice feels all the time, hungry and grumpy.

Hi there,

I am very new to forums. I am doing the Optifast diet for lapbanding surgery in 4 days.

I have had metallic feeling teeth in the first week which felt awful and acidic stomach pains so bad that I had to eat. Today I have extremely sensitive teeth, which is not something I usally have and it is quite painful.

I was interested to read that some one else had the metalic taste in their mouth as this is not listed anywhere. I had to go through a lot of websites to find someone with a similar problem.

I thought I must have been a real basket case to have these non listed side effects.

Thanks

Pre op I did Optifast for 2 meals and then had a Fulfil (new frozen band meals)meal for tea. I lost 12 kilo in 4 1/2 weeks. Breath wasnt too bad but sensitivity to the cold was bad some days. And i was constipated.
