I'm on day 16 of my optifast diet, with 5 more days to go and I haven't lost a pound since day 10.  I'm still following the diet 100%, but not seeing anymore results on the scale.  Is this unusually or does has it happened to anyone else?  Will I still be losing fat on my liver?

Is it possible you are holding water?  Maybe your body is adjusting to the starving status of you're eating. Give the surgeon's office a call and share your concerns and see what they say.  Keep us posted on how you are doing

yes,as long as you are not eating carbs/sugar,you will still burn fat from your liver.

Thanks Hollykim,  I was hoping that was the case.  I did try to call my doctors office... but of course they won't be back in the office until January 5 th.
