Day 1 of protein shake diet!

Holy cow!  They have you doing 3 weeks of protein?  I won't say it ever got "easy"  for me, but it did get better in the second week!  Hang in there Christina, it WILL all be worth it.

I am on day two of my two weeks of protein shakes (and one small low calorie meal) daily. I agree that the shakes are pretty filling but I have urges to eat  not drink my meals. I am praying that with time it will get better. What I do to change up the taste of my shakes is I have my basic EAS powder and lactose fat-free milk, but i put like 2-3 teaspoons of pudding mix in it. My favorite is cheesecake and banana. Its not anything fancy but it is easy to mix on the go.

Hi!  I'm into Day 10 of the Optifast, and I sure can't wait until my surgery when I don't have to consume this stuff anymore.  I never thought chicken broth would ever taste so good!!!  I mix the powder with cold decaf coffee and 1 tablespoon of sugar-free hazelnut Torani syrup that I purchased at "Second Cup".  I'm not sure about the American standards vs. Canadian (I'm in Canada), but we have to be on the liquid diet for 3 weeks, not 2 (ugghhh!!!!).

OK...I'm going to have my chicken broth now.
