Gained 2lbs on Optifast

right, it isn't to lose weight... but if you are eating things not included in the pre-op diet and gaining, it is likely due to that.

Absolutely true. I was just saying that a lot of people tend to focus on weight not coming off fast enough or the way they expected on Opti.  

I am not complaining about opti I was wandering if any one had gained 2lbs on optifast and was just looking for advice.  I am sorry to have frustrated you.

Oh no, that's not what I meant at all.  It was more of a generalized statement.  I didn't mean that you were frustrating me or complaining.  

It's just a lot of people, I've noticed, ask questions about how much they should expect to lose or wonder why they're not losing weight fast enough, when that isn't the purpose of it.  I'm sorry if I came off offensive.  I really didn't mean it that way.

Have you spoken with your someone from your centre about the gaining?  They might be able to give you some advice..

I still wonder why certain centres allow you to eat food other then optifast. You aren't going to die eating only optifast for 3 weeks - the medical program has you on it for 12 weeks.

I would agree you are retaining water from all the salt you are consuming - 2 litres of water isn't enough to flush out all that salt.

The broth is low sodium and the pickle is a baby dill I only had a total of 4 in a 8 day span.  I now know that I wasn't suppose to have it.  But, it wasn't like I was having a jar a day.  

I know someone who was on Opti for a full year! it can be done

me I was on it for a year and lost 90 lbs
