Time to show and tell
Hi. Opti is very very hard but you can do it. Day 1 of opti I was 285. 2 weeks later on surgery day I was 270. I am 4.5 months post op. (October 27th/17). I am down to 201 lbs. -84 lbs since opti and -69 lbs surgery. Keep the loss you will have in mind and you will do this. It's just a mind thing. You got this.
I've been on Opti for 2 weeks. Lost 16 pounds the first week and nothing the second. Weird. Hoping the scale moves again, two more weeks to go for me.

I seem to have stalled in my second week in opti as well.. it was hard not to weigh everyday but I'm not doing it anymore , it was too discouraging. I think I'm going to just let once a week from now on.
