After a year and a half since my referral,  today I started my 2 weeks of Optifast.  Starting to get nervous, anxious and hopeful.  Downed the chocolate one with decaf coffee crystals mixed in, was tolerable.

Congrats on your date.  The 2 weeks will fly by.  The chocolate aren't too bad.  Didn't try the vanilla.  If you get hungry, just have extra water in between shakes.  And make sure that you get enough water to keep going through the heat.

Thanks Cathy for the encouragement.  Only bought 1 box of vanilla because of the mixed reviews.  I have a 4 litter jug of water that I plan to finish today.

Thanks Ladies.  I have been reading OH for a while now and have been so inspired and found that by reading people's experiences I have less fear about what's to come.  Save room for me on the bench please.

I just finished day 2. I'm only getting in 3 (I'm just not feeling hungry) and have about 1/2 cup of jello a day. If you pour it over ice and use a straw, it's not bad, kinda like a milkshake. I prefer the vanilla over the chocolate. We got this!! :)

Hi Andrea.  Have had 3 today and will try to down another shake before bed, but really not hungry.  The broth was the best part of my day.  Day 1 almost done, 13 more to go.  Your right, we've got this.
