| sorry should of read had not paid off. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Day 7, weigh in day. I have been the same weight since day 5. Loosing 2.8kg and seemed to stop loosing since about day 4. I have gone by the book, have cut out sugar free lollies for a couple of days, and had a small amount of s.f. jelly. My body must be fighting it. I did better on Atkins I lost 4 kg in 3 days on that. Just a bit disappointed all my hard effort has paid off. I hope I can loose some more next week. I will try doing a bit more walking with the girls if it ever stops raining long enough. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi im on day 3 of optifast. are the optifast bars and soups ok to have? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| bigkabus, Try not to overdo the sugar free stuff. some of it is still high in carbs and it will undo your hard work on opti. I limited myself to 2 bowls of sugar free Jelly a day. if you want to eat a bar, I suggest using the Opti bars for meal replacements. You will find if you can drink more water you won't need the sugar free chocolates and lollies. Some people find it easier to have a shake for breakfast and lunch then a bar around 3 or 4 pm then the veggies at night with jelly for a night snack if that helps. Pyretta |

| You could expect to lose between 3 and 4 kilo per week if you follow the rules. Cheers Louise | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi, day 5 today. Going ok, haven't blown it yet. How much should I loose in the first week (avg) as I know everyone is different? I would love to drop 10kg in the 3 weeks pre-op. Wondering does anyone know if you can eat sugar free chocolate, or atkins bars? And how much sugar free lollies and jelly is to much? Like they say only 2 cups of vegies, but how much is to much on the sugar free stuff. Just a bit worried I will eat to much of it. Trying to drink more, but that is challenging sometimes. October 8 feels so far away.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Kate thanks for your encouragement. I'm getting banded tomorrow so it has helped a lot. cheers marilyn |

| Hi Maralyn I was banded in July & lost 10kg on Opti. My Dr was thrilled with me & said there wasn't a fat cell to be seen on my liver. My guess is yours will be more thank thrilled with you losing 12kg. Good luck with the op. Best decision I ever made. Kate |

| Marilyn thats amazing well done, I have been on it for 3 weeks and lost 6.5kg im sure it would have been more if I didnt get a unwelcoming visitor if you know what i mean. hopefully though but i doubt it he will be gone for monday.. awesome job xx | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Marilyn, I'm not sure how much you were hoping to lose in that time, but it sounds like an excellent result to me. Four weeks and 12 kgs? I'd say that's about as good as it gets! :-) Be very happy with yourself - you've done well. |

| Hey guys just finishing my optifast stage as op is on Monday arrgghhh. If I can make it then anybody can but the only thing that kept me sane was my optifast berry crunch bars they are nice and great sweet kick. Goodluck to you all xx | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1st day today of 3 weeks. I feel they will be the longest in my life. with all this other food around me, aaaaaah. I am stubborn and will not let it beat me. My op is now 1 day closer as they changed the date. Choc is ok with mint in it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ness, i had terrible diarrheoa on optifast....I felt terrible but I lost alot of weight. I too was on antibiotices and think that was some cause of it too. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi I am having gastric banding done on the 23rd September. My doctor has said i can have any type shake as they bascially do the same. The reason they recomend opti fast it is the only one proven to medically shrink the liver. Thats what the aim is.If worried check with your doctor it want heart better to be safe then sorry good luck. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ness - I don't get gastro but I do get a lot of stomach pain on the optifast. I think it's just that you chuck a whole heap of chemicals onto an empty stomach. That's sort of what it feels like for me! I'm sure it will get a bit better once your body adjusts. Most people have the opposite problem!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ness, yes, it is common for me when using Optifast. not to be funny, but it will pass, lol. |

| i have a not so nice question for you guys, but has any experienced diarhea whilst on the optifast stage? iam trying to work out if its the optifast or my antibiotics? Thanks guys x | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi i been on optifast for 12 days and have lost 7.5 kilos. I,m lucky hubby cooks his own meals but i do work a KFC so it was a bit hard the first few days but now i've got to a stage where i don't care about eating and it feels good to be there, so take it from me it does get alot easier. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I Just love the opti chocolate dessert it is so filling and satisfing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| for me, It would definitely be best to check with your surgeon about using an alternative shake. Some are fine with it but others insist it MUST be opti. Pyretta |

| Hi, I'm a newbie (soon to be banded - cannot wait) and I was wondering if I was able to use Atkins shakes rather than Opti for this stage. I know they get me into ketosis as I've used them before (on one of my countless previous LowCarb diets - lol) - so if the aim is weight loss and ketosis would Atkins shakes be okay? Would I be best to check in with my surgeon about this? Stats: CW: 118kg GW: 78kg DOB: Hopefully 24th Septmeber - Craig Taylor Sydney |

| Hi Trish! Thanks :) I am having the 2 cups of veggies also.. I was loving it for the first week, but now I'm sort of "veggied-out" Lol. Drinking the 2-3L of water REALLY REALLY helps.. the first week I was extremely strict on it, drinking 1.5L bottles, one after the other. This second and third week I've been extremely busy with work, so drinking less.. it makes SUCH a difference to the hunger feelings. I'm feeling good though, and my skin is looking good in result :) Just can't wait for the surgery, 3 weeks isn't soon enough. |
