How Much Weight Did You Loose on Optifast???

hi can you give me an estimate on how much weight normally take off on the optifast prior to surgery

 Everyone is different...............I took off 20 lbs....................some loose more, others less, depends on your starting weight and all those factors involved.

I lost 37 pounds - I was on optifast for 4 weeks

Started August 2 and have lost 7 lbs, that's it. I am worried. 3 weeks total and Ill be lucky if I lose 10. I've tried to think what I've done wrong and come up with nothing. The only thing I can think of is my body is rebelling the fact that for the past week I was on midnights. I was dieting before I started also so this may be a factor also. I will see what the next week brings, on it for another week. You can become costipated also so wondering if that's an issue too. So you just never know how your body is going to react.

7 lbs in 12 days is nothing to be worried about!  It doesn't mean you have done anything "wrong" You are losing!

 If you were dieting immediately before then it will definitely affect you results. A good chunk of many people's results are the water weight dump that occurs at the beginning of any low calorie diet.

Don't be hard on yourself... if you're following your doctor's instructions then you're doing everything your body needs to succeed, and you should be proud of that.

I was on CIB for 2 weeks and I lost 24 pounds.

Was on Optifast 2 weeks, lost 5 lbs per week for a total of 10 lbs

2 weeks lost 14 pounds...

PS Wendy don't worry about it, if I remember correctly it all came off at the end and was a total shocker!

Wendy, I satrted the same day as you and so far I have only lost 10 pounds too... so its not that far off!!!
