So early this week I gained 1.5 lbs. I am on my third week of opti and have not cheated. Anyways I gained the weight for 2 days and today seem to have lost it. Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this. Thanks and have a great day!

Not everyone will lose weight on Opti.  As for weight gain, it could just be your body holding onto water for whatever reason.  Anything from time of the month to weather to needing a good BM (this will be the same after surgery).  Just make sure you are drinking enough water.  And if it's hot (like it had been) drink extra.  You don't realize how much water you lose in the heat.  And if you are using any flavorings for either your Opti or your water, watch to see if there is any sodium content.  It can cause you to retain water.

Remember that high protein shakes have a tendency to constipate you. I'm gonna guess it's either that or hydration. As long as you aren't heavier on the date of your surgery you should be fine.

Thanks. I am down 14.5 so far on opti, I guess it just threw me off seeing the scale go up rather than down :)
