How much weight did you lose on Opti?
Wow way to go! I havnt weighed myself yet since starting on Saturday but I do feel lighter and a lot less bloated. I see my Dr. on Wednesday to get my PAC form filled out.

JULEEG!!!! My surgery buddy! How did it go getting your Opti? Did you have a "last meal"? How are you finding Opti? I am finding it not too bad. I mixed a crystal light raspberry into a vanilla and I have been adding black coffee to the chocolate Opti. So far, it's not too bad! Not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
I was already on water pills so only lost three pounds each of the two weeks I was on Opti. Yep. Six pounds total. But the surgeon said my liver was in great shape, which I guess was the point.

I lost a measly 9lbs I was on it for 2 weeks.
Three weeks of Opti and I was down 27 lbs.
You absolutely CAN lose weight in the first few days, as the others have said. I lost about 8 lbs in the first 5 days. The water weight is what you lose, and you certainly feel like you're tightening/toning up already. At least I did. I walked a LOT during my Opti phase (I was on vacation in Florida) and it was tough, but well worth it.
Hang in there! Opti will be done before you know it.
