The best thing i found were DaVinci syrups (at Winners).  I bought raspberry and caramel.  The raspberry was great - I used it with vanilla opti every morning for breakfast and the caramel one for lunch.  I used my magic bullet to mix it and added 2 or 3 ice cubes - made it nice and thick.  I also had a bottle of sugar free hazelnut syrup from Starbucks...yummy with the chocolate opti.

I'm with Dollface - I really enjoyed Optifast mixed 1/2 choc and 1/2 vanilla. It was the only way I drank it for 3 weeks. Good luck!

Hi there,   I'm on day 10!!!!  Getting board of optifast so tried a few different things.  I made Popsicles with a cup of decaf coffee, half cup of water and vanilla optifast....put them in Popsicle tray.  they were terrific....nice texture, did the same with the chocolate.  Also made a pudding texture...ate it with a spoon for something different.   Raspberry crystal light is excellent in the vanilla.  good luck.  See you on the bench!!!!!!

I actually prefer vanilla. I mix with grape SF cop aid (strong) and it's awesome, I also mix with CL and like it too. I use tons of ice and make into a thick shake...I can't stomach the chocolate ones, they taste like latex. TRADE YOU?

 Honestly? Use as cold water as possible (or blend with ice) and drink through a straw. Then at least you won't smell it as much, and the straw also helps get it closer to the back of your mouth without having to taste it so much. :)

The good thing about optifast is you know your surgery is just around the corner!

Thanks again everyone. The options are endless and I am grateful for the support. These will definately help me with the stage of the process.
