Hi Pam, Welcome, good luck with the program there are some really supportive people on here. Keep coming back CK

Hi Dl81, 7lbs in 5 days is awesome keep up the good work. I never went through a lot of hunger but some of the folks in my group said that it was really bad for the first two weeks and then it went away completely. Your body can survive for a long time on 800 calories it's just not going to be happy about it. It sounds…

Yesterday was the end of my first week and last night I had to attend my first social situation on the plan. I decided that it would be best at this point for me to just not partake in any of the food at the party and try to make a 'reasonable' meal while I am so soon. I packed an extra bar and smoothie to have for dinner…

Hi Deb, Thanks for the encouragement! The plan I am on would be the normal 800 calorie plan with 5 products a day. The doctor said that because of my size he wanted me on 1200 calories a day and instead of just giving me more product which would have been 7+ a day he suggested that I eat a frozen entree for dinner and a…

Today I had my first visit to the clinic since starting the program on Saturday. I am down 8 lbs already which I am sure is not going to be typical but already feels pretty good. I have not really been experiencing a lot of hunger during the day. The products are spaced out perfectly and I really enjoy my little 300…

Hi Sandy, Welcome to the discussion. This board has a lot of good info and some serious success stories. I know how it feels to be looking and looking for information on the program before you start. If you have any specific questions just post them and I am sure that someone will jump in and provide and answer. CK

Hi Deb, Thanks so much for the tips I really appreciate it. I have been drinking lots and lots of water and running to the mens room at work LOL, I guess that is just part of the program. I also have limited my caffeine to 2 cups of coffee in the morning and then decaf for the rest of the day. I have been drinking at least…

Hi Debbie, I have some questions about the program if you don't mind. I am only on Day 4 but my mind keeps going to transition and beyond. I think it is amazing that you have fully transitioned now and are still losing significant weight. How did you find the experience of transitioning? Was it any harder to resist your…

Hi LJB, Sounds like you are off to a great start! Keep up the good work. How have you found adjusting to the program, have you experienced much hunger? Any other side effects? I am also a male and on Day 4 and have only had very little hunger and a couple of times I felt a little light headed but nothing serious at all. I…

KrazyKlown75 Awesome progress and great before and after shots. Keep up the good work. How did you find being on OptiFast? Was it easy for you to stay on program? I am on my 3rd day and I am really surprised that I am not hungrier then I have been feeling. It seems like the products are spaced out just right so that I…

I have recently started the Optifast plan with my Doctors oversight. Although the core plan starts at 800 calories a day I am on a modified 1200 calorie plan. Do you have any specific questions? There are some folks on here who might be able to offer their experience.

I would suggest that you talk to your nearest Optifast Medical provider to see if it would be a good option for you and not take medical advice from Random People on the Internet. I am sure that you knew that, but it doesn't stop people from doling it out.
