Opti Fast Question
I'm 4 days from RNY surgery, currently on Opti Fast, I did cheat a couple of times. Has anyone done this? I weigh 240 pounds and lost 13 pounds so far but I am worried that I did cheat. It was on healthy food but still it's a cheat. Anyone in this situation like me and had the surgery? I'm concerned it will affect my liver.
I haven't been in your shoes (I'm pre-op)... but losing weight is good. My surgeon said they like to see ~20 pounds come off but that number is a general guideline and it doesn't always happen. I think if you go in + 13 pounds... that would be a different story.
Also, some surgical centers do allow you to eat 0 calorie foods (ie, cucumbers, celery). Mine doesn't, but some do.
My best guess is you'll be OK.
