Down 15 lbs. in 2 weeks, doing all 4 every day, no matter what.  And if I felt like it, adding in SF Jello, Crystal Light drinks. 

Think of the OF as a medicine prescription - 4/day is what you're told to do, so get them in.  I used to come home from work at 1am and have my last one if I didn't get it in at work.

Thanks everyone for your response.  It's nice to go into the surgery on a bit of a high from losing.

I was on optifast for 2 weeks and lost 22 lbs.  I have to say I really liked them, just put lots of ice in it, the colder the better.  I bought all kinds of sugar free syrups and didn't need them.

I did it in the summer so hot broth wasn't really what I wanted.  Had sugar free popsicles and jello for treats.

I had my surgery in the USA and it was SF Carnation Breakfast drink

..I lost 11 bs and was allowed to eat (1) small sensible meal, usually chicken and vegetables.

prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss. 

life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!.  Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!

I think it was 23 pounds, but over 3.5 weeks on Opti, no cheating (right through Christmas!) and I think I always did my full 4 shakes / day. I actially found Opti very helpful and kind of... peaceful.
