Opti...day ten and only 5 pounds

I have done ten days of opti, no cheating and haven't had any of the extra broth or veggies.  I lost five pounds the first three days and nothing since.  My weight was actually up half a pound this morning.

Has anyone else experienced this?  

Congrats. You are normal.  I see this posted all the time here.  Remember the point is not to lose weight but to shrink your liver. As long as you are following protocol, you will do just fine!

Thanks Dawn...I hear so much about people losing lots of weight on opti I wasn't sure at all.

Btw...I have just spent the morning reading you blog. It was very I formative and interesting. I've added it to my favourites. It's nice to hear some practical and actual experiences so many years out. I like you am addicted to food, binge eat and am an emotional eater. I know this and have fought with it for years and. Know it will continue to be a serious issue for me.

I'm in the same boat... Day 18... down 8 pounds... no cheating.  

I've taken the "it is what it is" approach.  As long as I'm following protocol, I'm not going to stress.

All the best on your upcoming surgery.

Tha is, day 18, I'm not sure I could do that. I only had two weeks. Four days left to go then surgery on Friday. Good luck to you too!

I have to admit the last couple of days I've found myself watching more and more of the food channel, in particular "You've Got to Eat Here". After watching 5 in a row, I thought... Oh no!!! you've replaced eating with food porn!!

I only have a few more days left, my surgery is on Tuesday. Take Care

 

*giggles*  I was so worried about the food porn channel while on Opti and going forward  would it be a channel I couldn't handle. 

Glad you are able to watch it still and that gives me hope I can.  it's my "go to" channel as well as all the other shows like Hell's Kitchen and MasterChef and Top Chef Masters etc etc etc.

Food porn lol. I don't have cable so I don't have that worry

food porn channel, I laughed out loud!!  I love all those shows and thank god for two TVs, my TV is always on the Food Network and hubby's TV is always on sports!! I am "addicted" to "Diners, Drive Ins & Dives", "You Gotta Eat Here" and "Master Chef" and the show about the food trucks (can't remember the name right now).    I had already talked myself into no****ching the Food Network at all, was worried I would be too temped!!
