The clinic I went through ordered the Optifast and had it sent to my house.

I didn't drink much of it as it was irritating to my stomach. I am lactose intolerant and they didn't tell me Optifast had some milk fat in it until I let them know how much it was making me sick. They then told me I could drink whatever Protein drink I wanted if it had a high Protein content and not just something like slim fast or carnation instant Breakfast that had lots of carbs.

Good luck on your pre-op diet and surgery.

Hi , my wife found the Optifast for me on ebay , but I found that the optislim tasted a lot better . I am not sure if optislim is available in the USA but ebay is a good bet to find either one at a good price , I have lost 47 kilos in 18 months since being banded, the best thing I have ever done.....good luck regards...... paul

hi check online at any pharmacy, call walgreens, they have it online. or ask them to order it for you. trust me the doctor office can be expensive that,s why they want you to spend so much money. i know it is worth it if you have the money, but yes chech the pharmacy either online or give them a call.

I've only been able to buy Optifast through my doctor or on Ebay. If your doctor wants to do Optifast pre-op, the office should be able to order it for you.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
