LOL Hugssssssss -- Optifast vs Surgery I am having a problem....... I am wondering if this surgery is the right thing for me. I have the insurance approval but, they require me to go on Optifast for 12 wks first and my husband and his sister think maybe I should just do the Optifast program and not have the surgery. My husband says he's not gonna be able to take off work and take care of me and my kids (the kids are 2 and 5). I am afraid that I am gonna be stuck here with no energy and no way to take care of my kids. Maybe I shouldn't have the surgery?? I'm so confused! Any body got any advice??

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Where are you located? Do you have friends or a church family you can get some help from? I too am having to lose some weight prior to surgery....like if it was that easy....why would I be doing the surgery....LOL! Just didn't know if you were in the Texas/Houston area, I would be more than willing to help. Luckily, my parents are coming to help take care of me and my son, but he is 10 so he can do a lot of things himself. Yours are young enough that won't understand they can't jump on mommy's lap. I'll be praying for you! Carol Matar Optifast vs Surgery I am having a problem....... I am wondering if this surgery is the right thing for me.

I would do the Optifast portion to prepare for surgery and not just do it for it's sake alone because sweetie how many times have you attempted to lose weight and keep it off with various kinds of diet programs or modifying your eating habits to where you are eating strictly rabbit food? Well, I know I have done and tried it all from starving myself to soup diets to working my self out into a frenzy and every time I gained whatever I lost back and sometimes even more to boot If you decide to simply do the Optifast alone and no surgery please whatever you do keep the weight off that you lose. The danger in yo yo dieting is the body just can't handle the stress of losing and gaining and a lot of people die by continuing to do this pattern. So long story short lose it and keep it off with the Optifast or go for the surgery and the lifestyle change. Your family will come around and help you if you decide to do the surgery especially if you let them know that you are doing this permanent thing in order to survive and be around with them for as long as possible. I had my Lap RNY surgery on 8/25/03 with no pain after surgery no pain at home I have lost 13 pounds to date and I have so much joy, energy and for once optimism about a wonderful future with getting back to who I really am.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 The doctor requires me to be on the Optifast program for 12 weeks and then off for 6 weeks and then on again for 6weeks then surgery. I guess the Optifast is suppose to be nutrionally a boost for my system?? No my husband thinks I'm nuts for wanting surgery and his sister says I'm just looking for a quick fix.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 Jess, I have been on the Optifast program before when I was about 18. It is a fully liquid diet where you have to drink those nasty shakes 3-4 times per day and one small meal at night. I lost 50 lbs in three months which was great but as soon as I¡Çd lost the weight I needed and got to eat regular food again, I gained the weight right back. This is a constant problem with people who are overweight and yo-yo diet. I would try to get your doctor to explain to your insurance that this could cause your weight to increase along with put more stress on your health instead of helping you. I also wanted to ask (and I hope you don¡Çt take offense), is your husband supporting you in your quest for surgery? From just what you wrote here it sounds as if he doesn¡Çt want you to have it and won¡Çt help you out. Does he understand why you want this and that it is necessary if he wants you to be around when your children graduate from high school/college and/or get married? I just was curious and hope you¡Çre not offended by my asking these questions. If you have any other questions about Optifast, please ask. :-) 432/370/170 Lap RNY 6/20/03 Re: Optifast vs Surgery Jess I wouldn't give up on surgery yet. Isn't optifast a liquid diet program?

In the long run you have yourself and if you won't take care of you now who is going to take care of you if God forbid a debilitating illness strikes that was brought on even more by being MO will these same people be there to care for you non stop. Or you can finally lose the weight be independent and really show your family what you are made of and shower them with love and the blessing of you being able to participate in your lives other than continuing to sit on the side lines and watching year after year as it all passes by.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I think there is another Bridget on our board now. I'm Bridget Northam from California. I will sign my messages Bridget N. so we don't get mixed up. Welcome to the other Bridget or Bridg! As far as the Optifast compared to surgery - there is no comparison. I've tried the Optifast and can't wait to try the surgery:) The Optifast works for some people. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of those people. The important thing to remember is that with shake-type diets is that they are usually only temporary. They can be helpful for taking off a few pounds in a short time but who would want to stick with Optifast permanently? Noone! The surgery is a tool that will help you lose weight permanently by forcing you to change your eating habits permanently. The best advice I can give is to talk to your doctor. I'm around 350 pounds and I've been dieting my whole life. My doctor feels the surgery is the best thing for me but maybe you don't have as much weight to lose or maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones that can lose it on your own. Let us know what the doctor says and be happy you're working on a solution! Bridget Northam > > I am having a problem....... I am wondering if this surgery is the > right > > thing for me.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 " I guess the Optifast > is suppose to be nutrionally a boost for my system?? " Hi Jess, my guess is that your dr would like you to get a head start on your weight loss with the Optifast. I was on a similar program called HMR for 10 months a few years before my surgery, and I lost 125 lbs on it in less than 9 months. Had I had the surgery then, I'd have been in GREAT shape... " He knows the reasons why I want it but, he just doesn't understand why I > just can't have the will power now not to eat if I'm gonna have the will power > after not to eat. " The thing is is that once you have the surgery, it will NOT be about willpower anymore. Speaking for myself, the whole reason I could never maintain any weight lost is because willpower eventually runs thin and then one is back to doing old habits again. Once you have the surgery, your body simply won't let you eat how and what you want... In the past, if I wanted ice cream (my favorite binge food then), the only thing between me and that ice cream was my willpower, and eventually I " lost " the battle. Now, while ice cream still sounds good, I won't touch it. And the reason is simple - because if I dare even take one spoonful, I'll regret it. When the food you turn to for comfort is no longer a comfort, you stop turning to it, and this is what it's all about in my opinion...
