Wow! Freaking out is a completely acceptable reaction, I would too!

Here are the advantages: if the surgeon thinks your liver is okay for surgery, then I'm sure it is. AND, you have less time to be on Optifast, and less time to obsess about surgery and freak yourself out about it. Worrying about surgery for fewer days won't affect the outcome of the surgery, but it will definitely give you peace of mind sooner...

You'll be great! I'm going on Wednesday, so we'll compare notes afterwards. :)

Well as long as your surgeon says it is safe... then better to get a call to go earlier than to get a call that they delayed your surgery! Good luck!

Lucky you! You're a lightweight, you won't have any problem! Many people never had Optifast at all years ago and didn't have a problem. I had it for 8 days, he said my liver was great. Be thankful, seriously!

If surgeon is OK with 1 week on opti then don't sweat it.
