i liked optifast, and looked forward to having my next one. I can't imagine having had any left over.

I had lots of leftover Opti. I tried to get all 4 shakes in each day but some days you don't. It often took me more than an hour of sipping to finish an entire one. Towards the end, I was having less and the last 2 days before surgery I only had 1 on each day.

You really should try to get all 4 shakes in during the day.  I was able to do that, and still had shakes left over.  The reason I had shakes left over was that I bought 3 weeks worth (as per my prescription), then ended up only doing shakes for 2.5 as that's when I got my surgery date.  Called on Tuesday or  Wednesday and told to start shakes the next day.  Which gave me a couple days left over.

I LOVED MY OPTIFAST!! The only time I had any left over from a day was if I was "on the go" and just didn't have time to get the 4th in.  However, my doctor did say to try to take all 4 every day and also, try for 4 hours apart, i.e. 7 a.m., 11 a.m.,3 p.m. and 7 p.m. This worked well for me. "Good luck to you"  Try to keep an open mind!

Have a great day,

For me, it is just time...Sometimes I get busy at work and forget to take one, and by the time I get home its bedtime. I know so far I will have two extra packets of opti. I do try to keep on the 3 hours schedule.
