How much weight did everyone lose on the optifast preop diet?

I'm on day 12 and a little worried that I haven't lost enough weight. I'm hearing that most people lose 25 to 30 lbs! I've followed the diet to the T but I'm only down 17 lbs! With only 2 more days to go I'm getting a little nervous that it's not enough.

    17 pounds in 12 days is pretty darn good, if you ask me! You are doing fine, don't worry. Does your surgeon require you to lose a certain amount before surgery?

    He didn't say how much I should lose...but on hearing some peoples experiences I got a little worried. I guess all I can do is follow the diet he set. Thanks for your support girls!! ????
