Hi All

I am on day day 8 of opti. This morning I woke up feeling very sick to my stomach. Is this a usual side effect of opti? 

Thanks

The best and easiest way to explain it is to have you look up "Atkins flu". It's a very common side effect when you drop carbs out of your diet. Give it a few days, stick to the plan and you'll feel better in no time.

I had nausea on Optifast the first three days.  I started taking two Metamucil caps per shake that the hospital recommended and it went away.

You might want to call your hospital and just pop the question their way.  They may have other questions for you that can help them give you a suggestion to help with the nausea.

Thank You all I was just worried something worse was happening. I took some ginger (as tea) and it went away.
