Optifast DAY 2.........

Its not so bad :)  I actually like the chocolate one.. kind of lol   I put in extra water.. so its not so thick.. and today i tried it with banana extract and I really liked it!  Even adding a scoop of instant coffee and a bit of ice is good.. kind of like an ice cap from tims.....

The vanilla on the other hand.... its really sweet.. and hard for me to get down.  I added raspberry crystal light to it.. and it kind of tasted like a strawberry milkshake... but not really.  I thought adding ice might help... but it just made it harder to drink.  I think I will just have to live with gulping that kind.. but its only day 2.. and I will keep trying different flavors :) 

I don't feel hungry yet... we had a few half bags of chips in the house last night and my husband was kind enough to throw them out... I knew I wouldn't eat them.. but just knowing they were there was really bothering me.

So far so good though :)

You're doing great lady!!! I can't wait to hear about your progress after surgery! Very excited for you!

Hey Mrs. Dollface....Trust me, it does get easier.I'm on day 10. I use 400ml of water and 6 ice in a blender for my drinks. The chocolate one I feel that I don't need to add anything to it but the vanilla I find, yes it's sweet. I add cherry pomengrate crystal light or raspberry, even a lemon lime crystal light. I don't feel hunger and haven't felt hunger since about day 3 and now. It does get easier and thank God I'm only on it for 4 more days. I haven't even had to have my broth for a couple days. Just the drinks and water and a sf jello here and there. I weighed on tuesday morning and was down 7lbs. I'm wishing you all the best in this Opti stage!!!

Thank goodness you like the chocolate at least! Good for you - keep at it :-)

Hijack...sorry!  Lil, what's the scoop for you and the extra week?  Are they going to supply you with more Optifast?

 
I was the same way.... loved the chocolate flavour, 12 days and counting hun !!

I wi**** was just 12 more days.. but alas im on this stuff for 3 weeks lol..... but thank you everyone for the words!!!!

Hi Dollface (name suits you by the way), I've seen where some people mixed chocolate and vanilla Optifast and it took on the flavour of the chocolate.  Maybe worth a try?  In any event, continued success!

Thank you Sam1am!  I will try that for sure!!!!

I have been mixing the 2 flavours and I find it much easier to drink -- try it and see but I think it has less of a sweet taste to it. Good Luck!
