I feel like an opti loser...lol
I feel like an opti loser..... I have 3 more days of opti.. and i've only lost 3.5 lbs so far... :( I was thinking I would have lost at least 10...
I haven't cheated on opti.. but have had problems with BM's... Have been taking benefibre and senokat.. and now things have started moving..
I hope that after surgery things move a bit faster...

You are a loser - and it's a very good thing. I was also constipated and took benefibre as well. Things didn't really get moving until after surgery - and even then it was slow.
Three more sleeps! Don't look at the scale until the morning of the surgery, then forget about it for another month.
I'm so happy for you. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Michelle-
Don't stress....like said above everyone is different....some lose tons...some not so much some even gain. Just try and get the bowels moving as after surgery it will take a few days to go again.
The weight will come off...sure at times not as quick as we want but keep in mind inches melt away at times even when the scale doesn't budge.
You got this!!
Thanks Laura.. I'm sure all will be good after surgery... :)

Hi Michelle I was just searching the boards cause I haven't lost either and noticed were both having surgery at TWH on Monday. I'm having a revision and had 3 weeks of optifast. I started May 22 and have only lost about 5 lbs so I really feel like a loser lol. My weight has gone up for no reason some days and yes I've also stuck to the diet.
Hopefully this isn't an indication of weight loss after.
Best wishes and maybe we'll meet up in hospital.
Misty
that's great Misty.. what time is your surgery at??? Mine is scheduled for 12. And yes.. for the first week I was losing good.. but then nothing. I'm sure it's not an indication of weight loss after... Hopefully it's our 3 week stall come early and after surgery will be golden...lol

Mine is at 8 am with Dr. Jackson. I think they schedule the more complicated surgeries first in case they have issues so lucky me I get to be there at 6 am lol. I know my losing will be slower as it's a revision and I'm unable to exercise due to an incomplete spinal cord injury (thus why I'm having a revision both cause my body can't handle the weight and because I can no longer exercise it off).
I'm coming from Sault Ste Marie, how about you?
