I know the point of Optifast is to shrink your liver and that weight loss is just a happy by-product....but according to my scale, I have lost a LOT of weight!!!
Maybe my scale is broken???

Is it possible that I have lost 19lbs in 6 days?????

That HAS to be wrong....
I *did* have my period on Day 1 though.....but 19lbs?? Come on...that seems a bit crazy.

Its totally possible. I lost 17 lbs in my first week on a liquid diet a few years ago. Some of it is fat, and alot of it is water you were retaining. That is a GREAT loss! I just started my pre-op diet yesterday and have lost 3lbs! I am hoping for a big loss to jump start me before surgery ;-)

Make sure you're getting adequate hydration in addition to the opti, you could have los****er weight.

I can put on 5-10 lbs water weight with my period, so if you do the same, then of course it is possible. Enjoy the ride with your scale.

I've been losing about 1 lbs a day while on optifast and I am drinking at least 2 litres of water a day.

I lost a lb a day. I started at 255, I think for someone who weighs more, it may be a little more and someone who weighs less, it would be less but you would have to figure in, water retention, TOM etc.
