Optifast

I hated vanilla at first, but at the end found I could do more with it. I loved it with sugar free caramel DaVinci surup and blended with ice. :)

I had no choice in flavor, all that was available was Chocolate. It actually wasn't that bad to be honest. Just make sure it's cold. I did add some Sugar Free Syrup to change it up a bit.

I was on it for 2 weeks and lost 16 pounds (I was only able to drink 3/day, 4 was too many). Some people lose, some people gain, some people don't lose or gain just stay the same. It's hard to say how your body will react and what it will do

As of the benefibre, I maybe had 1 tbsp/day? Anything more than that made me extremely bloated and crampy.

You're almost there! Best of luck

I lost 18 lbs on 2 weeks of Opti. Everybody is different.

I'm on Week 2. I was given the option of Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry. I chose all 3. The variety has been a life saver. Surgery Monday 7/17/17.

Yes, Vanilla and Chocolate in Canada; my centre gave me half and half, and I'm one of those weird people who preferred the Vanilla. I tried adding various flavourings but liked it best plain, very cold, made with a bottle of water and 5 or 6 ice cubes, in a shaker bottle.

I spaced them out every 4 hours and was never stomach hungry, but had a lot of head hunger (cravings) for the first week.

I was on Opti for 3 weeks and lost 23 Lbs, but it varies from person to person. I was thrilled with my loss.

Thanks for all your advise ! I did get half chocolate and half vanilla. I start them on Friday! This is so exciting and scary all at the same time . I feel like I should go and eat whatever I want today, but the nerves have my stomach turned lol Did any of you suffer from headaches from not eating real food , or from not having coffee or sugar ? Any tips on how to deal with that if it happens ?

I picked up my optifast today. I decided to go with 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 vanilla. I bought some sugar free salted caramel syrup to use with it. I plan to blend my morning shakes with cold decaf coffee and the syrup with tons of ice. Good luck!

I did the same and got 1/2 choc 1/2 vanilla. I didn't get anything to add to it , I will see what it's like when I start in Friday! Good luck to you too !
