So I've completed my first week of Opti. It hasn't been as bad as I expected. Thank God for broth and caramel syrup. I drink lots of broth which fills me up. My husband brought home a burger and poutine for his dinner. Boy it smelled good. I haven't cheated once and refuse to. I will overcome. Can't wait till after surgery so I can have some cream soup. That looks like a gourmet meal at this point. One more week of this and then surgery. It's gone so fast. Can't wait to start my new healthy life.

Hi Sylvie! One more week for me too and then its the big day! I am starting my 3rd week of opti and I agree, its not so bad! Lots of broth for me and instant coffee mixed in my shakes has been a lifesaver. I do find I am more tired than usual but I'm hanging in there! I also haven't cheated! I refuse to! Here's hoping the week flys by.

Wow, hamburger and poutine! Too bad he didn`t eat it BEFORE he came home. Good luck on your second week of Optifast.
