I know everyone is different but I was just wondering about peoples experiences. I was wondering how much you lost and how soon, were you exercising while on Opti? Also did anyone use fitness pal if so how many calories ect. were you getting a day?
Thanks for any responses.

I lost 15 lbs. I thought I would lose way more than that, but once I got rid of my excess water weight anything above that seemed to come off super slow. I lost most of my weight in the first two weeks. However I have lost 18 lbs in the 12 days since surgery so I am making up for it!

I didn't exercise at all, although I probably should have and it would have helped my mood ;) 

I didn't use MFP but I would assume I was getting the 900 calories from the Opti and maybe another 10-30 calories from broth and jello.

I lost about 35lbs on opti and was not working out at all. but only opti, chicken broth, sf popsicles will help. much less calories than pizza, wings and donuts lol.
