Ashley,

It is basicly the same as the pre-op liquid diet. Some docs use a particular method like Medda Fast to make it uniform for their patients. I have a friend and she had to do Medda fast or opti fast for a couple a weeks. When I asked my doc she said the liquid diet would have the same results.

Hope that helps

When I was on Medifast (back when Oprah did it) I had great results. too bad one can't live on 400 cal liquids a day. its to shrink your liver. just remember to drink a lot of water between.

Back when I was on it I did 5 shakes a day mixed w/ water. lost 60lbs in 3.5 months. lost ALOT of muscle too.

YEPPERS!
every doctor has there own protcal for these issues.
LIKE said its to reduce the fatty liver size to help have a
safe surgery.
IN my case the surgeon requires pre op weight loss.
SOME have to do liquid diets, some medifast shakes.
ALL for the same reason!
