I thought people were exagerating when they talked about the OPTI TROTS...well believe you me...I will listen when people talk next time. I am only on my first day of opti and i SWEAR this is how you lose the weight...I have been on the toilet more than i have been off of it!!    

anyone have any suggestions??

 I had the trots for the first few days and then it was gone. I didn't use anything to help it, I just let it go (literally) and eventually it stopped.

Some people use SF Metamucil caplets with each shake to help with this.  I never did, but I have heard some take as many as 4 each time.  I never had to so not sure how many.  Try one or two at first see if it helps at all.

Never trust an Opti fart.  That stuff is evil, but necessary.

Did 12 weeks of Opti...found the first few days were "trot-like" and then worry was more about "stop-like"...drink lots of water through the time to get things back to "less trotty" but still moving in the days to come! Good luck with this next step of your journey!
