Feeling sick in opti...
Omg I'm glad you posted this because I have been wanting to but thought maybe it was to much information then what people would want to hear. I have been like this since the first one I drank last Friday the 25th. I can only handle 2-3 shakes a day because they make me feel so sick and I usually end up throwing up and it's not the taste because I don't mind the taste of both chocolate and vanilla. And just like you it's usually about 20-30 mins after I drink the shake but when I get about half way done my drink I have to run to the bathroom because I have diarrhea. I've been suffering from migraines and the shakes and I don't think this has anything to do with caffeine because I've never been a big caffeine person and my weight loss hasn't been very good I've only dropped 4lbs and then yesterday it said I gained 1lb and I'm not sure how that happens when I haven't eaten and I'm only getting like 500-700 calories because somedays I don't get past the 2nd shake.
You know, I was honestly thinking that maybe it was just too much artificial sweetener cuz I have never ingested it in large volume before. I notice too that my face an ears get really hot an red around the same time I feel like I want to get sick. I also, didn't want to call and complain, I thought I would just tough it out.
I contacted my surgeons office today and they said there is another diet I can do but I have to wait for the dietician to call me back if I don't hear anything I'm just gonna stick it out. I would have thought for such little calories being taken in I would have lost more weight but hopefully next week will be better for weight loss and no crazy symptoms.
This is day 8 for me ..had a mild headache off and on for a few day....I can get the shakes down but once I take the first one I don't wanna eat anything... I. Could live on one all day until I start getting weak and realize I have to push myself to get 2 more in...they are very heavy on the belly...I would feel like I wanted to vomit but realized it only happened when I added flavour to them... So now I just mix the chocolate and vanilla together because I can't get the vanilla down.. As for the scales they are all over the board ..one day down ,next day back up a few...today shows 11lbs gone... I just want the shakes gone and clear fluid to start lol.. Feel better Ladies ...

I'm on day four, and I have an itchy red rash on my face (little tiny bumps). I've also developed quite a few painful tiny pimples around the nose and edges of the lips.
I'm just sticking it out...17 more days to go.

Try mixing it with more water, and ten when it's down try not to think about it. Or mix it with a different flavor could help. I am digging the chocolate mixed with coffee, about 8 ice cubes and another half coffee cup of water. Blend that up and it's actually good. That is the only way I can take the chocolate as it leaves an awful taste in my mouth. Even after scrubbing my teeth and tongue furiously after drinking it.
hang in there. We only have 10 days to go!
