Hi there

You have done very well so far. Everyone is different though, some lose more some less
It's more losing the fat around the liver that is the concern. Of course the more weight you lose the better for you, but it is very individual
Maybe others will post what they lost. I never did opti so can't say for myself
Keep up the good work

This is very individual, some lose big, and others don't lose much, I lost about 20lbs during 3 weeks of optifast.

I was on Opti for 2 weeks and lost 5 lbs. My surgeon told me I had a beautiful liver after my surgery was over. Opti isn't about losing weight pre-op (alhtough it is a nice side effect!) it's about minimizing the size of the liver since they have to move it around inside of you while doing the surgery.

Pre-opti- 289 lbs    Surgery- 283.8 lbs    Current- 209 lbs    Surgeons Goal- 180    My Goal- 150 lbs

Referral sent - June 2010          Surgery date - December 14, 2011       Referral to surgery - 18 months

Hi ladies, thanks for your input..I understand it is about it is about the liver..But I didn't expect to loose 4 lbs either in a few days..I was just wondering if that was normal?? Thanks again!!

Hi there

As with any "diet" or weight loss plan people usually lose more in the first week. Mostly water weight

Keep up the good work

I lost most of the weight in the 1st week. I was on it for 4 weeks and only lost 11lbs total. Very disappointed.

I think 4lbs so far is VERY good and YES, for most people that is normal.

I lost about a pound a day, so that's about the same as you so far. It's normal!
