You maybe fine short term. If the weight loss slows go up to 1200 calories.
Sometimes to low a calorie count will slow weight loss.

Try to spread out your food/shakes. Have something every 1-2 hours to keep
your metabolism burning. Do not go more than 3 hours without eating. Good
luck and don't forget to drink as much water as you possibly can.

I would try the Slim Fast High Protein...it has more protein in it than the
Optima and is otherwise the same.

Less is not always more...You will probably lose your 12 lbs in no
time...and that is all you are concerned about since you've asked all kinds
of crazy dieting questions...When you become a post op, your ideas about
losing weight are scary and unhealthy...I hope that if you are approved for
surgery, that you learn healthier habits for your own safety and well
being. I am not trying to be mean or chastise you, I just want you to learn
more about health and safety first...because you can hurt your health and
what good would being thin matter without good health? I think you should
talk to your doc and a trainer at the gym about your diet while working
out...You will lose more weight eating right than not eating...Please seek
professional help from someone at the gym you are working out at or your
surgeon and/or nutritionist...I really worry about you...You should use
your strong will and determination in a more productive way, such as doing
research on health and nutrition...WLS is a HUGE responsibility not to
losing weight, but to health long term. It only take a year to lose the
weight and the rest of you life to stay healthy so you live long enough to
enjoy it! Sorry for being so forward...I just want you to be safe...
