Good morning everyone.

I have completed my first week of Optifast and to be quite honest it hasn't been all that bad. Can't stand the taste of the vanilla on it's own but adding decaf coffee or sugar free flavors have helped.

Weight myself this morning and I am down 5 lbs. Just out of curiosity, how much weight did you lose while on the Optifast? I have two more weeks to go.

TIA!

Good job. I lost 28lbs on 3 weeks of Opti. Just remember we are all different in terms of our bodies so don't be discouraged if you don't lose as much but 5lbs is great start.

Yay, 1 week down, 2 to go! You're doing great; congrats on the 5 Lbs gone!

This is the beginning of an amazing journey. I'm so happy for you.

I actually liked the plain vanilla Opti best; I must have weird taste bud, lol, as I was alone in that :-).

I lost 23 Lbs on 3 weeks of Optifast. I was thrilled.

Awesome job! I really liked opti and lost 15 pounds in two weeks - everyone is different - the goal is to shrink our liver to make surgery safer ... the weight loss is just an added jump start ... keep truckin' on - you are doing GREAT

referral: early June 2016; surgery Feb 21, 2017

Thank you all very much for your input. Any weight loss before surgery is just a bonus!
