Opti Fast help awful

I had two weeks of the opti diet. The first three days I thought I wouldn't make it to surgery. Damn things are not the greatest. By the end of two weeks I was looking forward to them at meal times cause it really curbed by appetite. I had two boxes of both chocolate and vanilla. I tried crystal light and gagged. I tried other concoctions and no go to those as well. What worked was mixing half a pouch of vanilla with half pouch of chocolate, added about a tsp of expresso instant coffee and ice. I could always get it down with that. I also chugged it so you can't get a whiff of the stuff. As far as the runs, I only had them the one day, but for me it was the opposite and hard to go. Keep with it, I had my surgery march 24th and since opti I am down 21 lbs today.

Thanks Sue, I hate the vanilla the most, but I mix with cold water in the bullet and chug. Then I fight to not throw it up. I have had the trots the first 3 days but today is day 4 and none so far, but I am fighting nausea now. I hate this stage. I am so looking forward to the surgery and am very positive but I just hate the opti.

I am on day 10 of my Opti and this is what I have found.  The trotts do get better.  Also the colder mine are the better I like them (the opti I mean not the trotts lol).  I like instant decaf coffee in mine it tastes like a cappuccino or cafe mocha.  My best tip is more water when mixing it.  They call for 300 mls I put closer to 400ml it tastes less cake battery.  Good luck.   My  surgery is April 22nd and im having RNY

Hi there, wow day 10 of being on it and your surgery isn't until the 22nd...WOW. I am on day 4 the trots are better today but now I fight nausea. I have surgery on the 14th with Klein at Humber in Toronto, where is your surgery? I wish you all the best. Sending thoughts and prayers. this is to no more trots...LOL

Yes I have to be on it for 4 wks.  I found the smell not very nice, one time I plugged my noes but now im ok.  I like them with more water.  I tried cocoa but I forgot we can't have caffeine so I guess thats out.  Just keep plugging through  :-)
