Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.      
How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

It has been one week on the Optifast shakes and wow do they leave an awful tast in your mouth . I find them to leave a coating in your mouth you can't get ride of .If anyone has any helpfull tips that would be great . I find i have had to brush after every one and gargle to reduce bad breath .On the plus side I have found that it dose keep me full. but near the end of the week i started to miss food. But i know that in the end it will be more then worth it . I have lost ten pounds which truth be told i am a little disapointed normally lost ten pounds in just water the first week just reduceing carbs . I'm not sure what i expected . I do feel it in my stomache. I have pre-op on thurs. the 14. Hope to see more loss by then .

One month after surgary and i'm feeling much better still sore but better .Can't wait till i can do more i feel lost
. I'm still not eat to much food still mostly protien shakes and fluids . i'm down 40 pounds .
I'm afraid to eat anything i really don't know what i should be eating . I don't want to eat the wrong thing and mess thing up . I wish they gave you a little more or a meal plan . I really thats how most of us got to be over wieght is by not really knowing what to eat , how much and when to eat what . my appointment with the dietition is not till the 25 of july .
