Hello all so I'm on day 12 on optifast and no loss! The first week I was down 7 lbs and this week I've gained 1 or 2 what the hell is going on...I've been completely faithful and haven't cheated at all...this is so frustrating!

Good morning :)

 

remember that hat the point of the opti is not to loose weight but rather to shrink the liver

 

althiugh most do loose some weight, not everyone does

 

keep at it....  It will be over before you know it

Morning J, 

Thanks for the reply. ..just seems discouraging. ..no food should equal a loss... but I have 8 more days left so hopefully I can drop a few :)

Josh is right...im on my final week of opti (3wks total) and I was down 10lbs.  I dont think ive lost much since but all I am hoping is that my liver has shrunk and shed the fat!! thats the most important thing!! Not to worry we know the weight is going to come off~ good luck

Just keep on track and it will be fine. Just as we hit stalls post op, there may be days where there are no losses on opti. Looking back it was one of the more biggest challenges I had. Best wishes.

Do NOT stress about this - if you've been following the plan, things are going to be just fine for your surgery. I know it's disappointing, but in the grand scheme of life it's but a moment. Your liver is thanking you for your efforts!

I'm on my second week too and lost much more the first week.  Then I figure my body went into conservation mode thinking here she's going again starving me!  But since the point is all about the liver, I'm not too worried.
