How are you doing Star?
I am having a real hard time with it. I had a shake yesterday morning for my first one...I was sick. So I had a bar for lunch and supper. They are much better than the shakes but I'm trying to eat one this morning and I'm gagging so I'm not sure what to do. I only had 3 servings yesterday because I just couldn't stomach anymore. I ate just under half of one a few min ago so I'll wait to see if I can hold this down before I go onto the rest. I don't think I've vomited in the past 20 years. I just don't but I am an awful gagger as I get older. These shakes actually make me vomit and the bars make me nauseaus. I really don't know how I'll make it through 2 weeks. Anyway, I'm off to Regis to get my hair cut so I'm sure that will make me feel better...Thanks for caring. Starr
Except for the diarrhea the Maillol caused, i actually liked the shakes and bars. Not over them but liked them. BUT I would put an ice cube in the shake and whip it and let it sit to dissolve and get cold and whipped again. Try putting the mix in the freezer until it starts to freeze- it would take 25-30 minutes. I would also add Crystal Lite to the chocolate for variety. It may be the smell you don't like, try plugging your nose- smell is like 75% of taste.
I hear you Star. When I was doing my liquid diet there was only Optifast. I had tried that a couple of years back and it was gagable. Couldn't do that. I did the slimfast for two weeks. The taste wasn't too awful bad but taste is a personal thing. I was often hungry. I didn't cheat once although I sure wanted to. I lost only 3 pounds total on slimfast but it was a loss. That worked for me. Hope you find success, I know that you will.

It's 2:30 in the afternoon and I've only had 3/4 of a bar so far today. I don't even feel that hungry because of the nausea, although my stomach is growling something fierce. I don't know what I'm suppose to do. It's Saturday so I can't even call someone. I know I can't go for 2 weeks without something without getting sick but I am at a loss. I've tried making it real cold and I still can't tolerate it. I just gag and gag. The first one I drank yesterday morning I had to plug my nose to get it down...and then.... And all day long I could taste it. Is there anything else I can try that will not prevent me from making weigh in and shrinking my liver? If I could call Rinette, it wouldn't be so bad but that's 2 days away. I don't want to make myself sick from not eating either.
Try Slimfast. That's the only over the counter one they will allow. It comes in Chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and cappachino. I just got chocolate and vanilla.i didn't like the strawberry and cappichino. Buy just one and try it. It costs about 1.99 each.
