My surgery is July 20/16.  I am on Optifast for 4 weeks in hopes that we can get my BMI down.  First 2 days I cheated ... But kept my calories under 1200.  Hard to cope when everyone eats and you discover t

So just got my Surgery date .... July 20.  I am on Optifast for 4 weeks pre-surgery to increase weight loss due to bmi of 53.  Anyone willing to share weight loss numbers while on Optifast prior to surgery?
