Thank you!!!! I had my first one with no coco and cold. I had my second with hot with a tablespoon of coco and it wasn't that bad. A tablespoon of coco is 20 calories. Do you think it will be ok to have it that way all 4 times, which will be 80 calories a day.

Perfect timing for that question... I just got off the phone with one of the nurses at my centre in Ottawa. They recommend no more than 25 calories a day ALL IN, including cocoa, jello, broth, crystal light.

Have you been able to lose any weight since starting Opti?

yes, I am down about 13lbs or so... I had hoped for more but I have been having BM issues so I think that has played into the amount lost.
