Ree Lost 76 Pounds

I decided I really needed to get serious about weight loss because of elevated blood pressure and a problem with fluid retention. I chose this program because I noticed it on the website while filling out paperwork for a gastroenterology appointment.

Many people where I work had gastric bypass surgery and I noticed how much weight they lost preparing for the surgery while drinking high protein shakes. I researched OPTIFAST and decided it would work for me. This program was different than others that I have tried because of the idea of completely getting away from “regular” food by consuming only OPTIFAST products and in doing so, breaking or addressing my addiction to food.

The staff was always so friendly and helpful. They always answered any questions I had and were very supportive. I also found the meal replacements to be enjoyable. I’ve gone down several clothes sizes and don’t have to shop in the plus sizes anymore. I have so much more energy than I did before – ” I even look forward to exercising! My advice to someone just starting the program is they need to come to the group meetings each week. It helps to hear experiences and problems others in the program are having. The modules are also very informative and the leaders are great! This is the best weight loss program I’ve encountered and I’ve been on a great many of them over the years. This has definitely been a lifesaver for me! My blood pressure is down again and I feel great and have a more positive attitude.
