Congratulations Joyce,

I am so happy for you getting your date.

I only lost 7 lbs on 2 weeks of opti but as others have said the intent is to shrink the liver to allow space for the instruments to safely move around inside. I had been on a high protein low carb type diet (no refined or processed) for about 6 months prior and my doc told me that I had one of the best livers he had seen in a long time even though I strayed one time in the 2 weeks with oats porridge to throw off ketosis as it gave me a very painful gout attack. (not recommending that anyone cheat). The intent is to shrink the liver.

Consider the weight loss to be a bonus. Good luck on your journey.

Thanks Lorraine, yes I know about the reason for the optifast but like the idea of some weight loss. Will do my best not to cheat, got my hubby here to keep me on the straight and narrow. Joyce

Congradulations!!! I also got a call today. She left me a message but didn't leave the date. I am going to call tomorrow.

So very happy for you. Hoping to continue to see posts in the days to come for those still waiting saying they got the much anticipated call.
