Halfway through opti

So I am at the end of day 10 of opti.....halfway there! But my cravings suck!  I haven't cheated, but seriously all I want is some peanut butter or a grilled cheese sandwich :). I think what I really want is just some real food with real flavour. Anyways just needed to vent, I've made it this far, I can make it to the end. 

You got this ! 

Good luck on ur upcoming surgery 

Thanks!

I'm right there with you :( I started Opti on the 16th. I cheated once with a slice of turkey and a few slices of cucumber. I'm almost mad now when I go to make an opti - are they all sweet because they think all overweight people like sweets? Seriously >

To cut the sweetness, I added lots of decaf instant coffee crystals.

I know what you mean about being angry at the shakes, I do find them sweet, so I've been adding the decaf coffee, or lemon lime crystal light to make it more tangy. At Humber we are allowed 2 cups of green veggies a day, which really helped the first 2-3 days. I haven't had any since, because it's not that I am actually hungry, I am just missing texture and taste

You are doing great!!! Hang in there!!!

I feel your pain and I'm sending you a big high 5,  as I only had to do a week of opti........it's not easy.

  you absolutely CAN  do another 10 !!!

Thanks for the high 5!  At least in the past 10 days I've gotten a bunch of little projects out of the way

Hi surgery buddy, sounds like your doing well. I'm on day 5 of optifast. 9 days for both of us. We've got this. We can walk the hallway together soon enough.
