Day 3 on Optifast need suggestions please

Ok so day 3 and the chocolate is bareable and I take vanilla with banana and coconut extract.Is there anyone who has other suggestions? also I was talking to someone who use Fat free Italian dressing on there Lettuce,celery,cucumbers and broccoli? I was told only lemon juice or vinegar.Thanks for any advice I'm getting nervous my Surgery date is June 18th 

Lucky you to be able to have veggies!!  I don't have that option!  I'm on day 8. But in regards to flavouring the OptiFast, you can find different concentrated food flavourings at Bulk Barn, such as orange, butterscotch, raspberry.  I especially like using raspberry crystal lite.  It's good with the chocolate as well as the vanilla. Instant coffee is a good way to flavour, as well as tea.  I brewed up a pot of extra strong chai tea, let it cool, and use it for the vanilla.  

My surgery date is June 19, and I too am a little nervous, but mostly excited/anxious.  Remember to focus on the prize, and hang on for a ride of a lifetime!! 

phoeonixxs how do you mix the tea in? is tha part of the 1 and 3/4 cups of water added to the Optifast? Bein my Optifast OnTuesday so geting ideas now to be prepared.

 Thanks

I make the tea the 300 ml required to mix with the OptiFast.  I haven't tried it with hot tea, but I imagine it might taste like a Vanilla Chai latte! I'm going to be trying some other flavours like Pina Colda and Orange Cranberry.

Thanks! 5 days for me! Your surgery is one day ahead of mine!  
The best of everything to you michellebear!  Looking forward to being a loser!  

I just added ice cubes to ensure they were really cold. For vanilla, I added a 1tsp of pure cocoa powder. 

thanks OneByte I find it easier to drink with ice too :)

The Mio flavourings are good in the vanilla and I liked adding nutmeg, cinnamon, coffee to the chocolate.
