I'm just about to start week 3 of the Opti diet. I just want to know what the average weight loss is for ppl who are on it for 3 weeks? Im sure there is going to be a range but that's exactly what I'm looking for.

I see people lose anywhere between 5 lbs and 30 lbs.

Most I'd guess are probably in the 10-20 lb range.

Crystal, i am on day 18, 3 more to go. i lost 18 lbs up to three days ago, but for some strange reason gained back 2 lbs. Maybe my scale was teasing me, LOL. so in all reality I have dropped 16 lbs, i am hoping for four more by surgery day.

Wow C_money! Only a few days away! Where are u having ur surgery? Well u guess I'm ok and on track. I am 12 lbs down as of this morning. My only issue is I am obsessed with the scale. Weigh myself every morning before I eat or drink. I'm driving myself crazy. I dropped the first 10 in the first week but this week only 2 was getting really concerned.

I did two weeks of opti and lost under ten pounds ( was eight i think). Everyone is different so I wouldn't worry about it. Idea of opti is not to lose weight but to prep your liver for surgery
