I know the goal of Opti is to shrink the liver before surgery and I know everyone is different but I'm curious to know how much people generally lost on Opti before surgery.

HW: 260lbs Pre-Optifast: 257lbs SW: 242lbs Happy: 150lbs SG: tbd

Good luck!

15 lbs in 3 weeks, with no cheating. Comparatively speaking, this doesn't seem to be a lot but it really helped me to break my eating habits prior to surgery.

27 lbs in 3 weeks and forced myself to get all 4 shakes in. Absolutely nothing else was allowed other than crystal light and other low/zero calorie drinks.

17 lbs for me over 2 weeks, with a tiny bit of cheating in the first week. And I do mean a tiny bit.

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora. Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.
