I would like to know if anyone has tried these at all. I went to my Dr the other day he said to me that at the moment to try these as they have all the nutrients that you need.
The reason why he suggested these to me is because I need a operation in a few months but have to lose at least 4kgs before they even think about the operation due to the high risk and been overweight. Have done a little bit of research on the Opti shake the thing that scares me is that your calorie intake is only about 800 cal a day!!! I guess I have to weigh up what is more important lose the weight sort of fast so I can have the operation asap or do the 1200 cal a day still be healthy and wait till I get down to the ideal and have operation.
He also said it will help me with my diabetes as well.
I guess can only but try huh, and see how I do for the first 2 weeks on these shakes.

Would like feedback and thoughts from others.

    If it is recommended by your doctor as a necessity in order to complete an important surgery, then I'm not sure why you're asking people on the internet. I would listen to your doctor. I have heard of people being put on extreme "diets" for surgery, it is not uncommon.
