20 more to go! Today was day one of my optifast, from reading all the scary things about vanilla opti (I had no choice in the flavor ) I was scared to try that first sip...to my surprise I found it was pretty delicious and not as terrible as a lot of people make it seem, am I the only one who thinks that? Lol

I didn't find it all that bad.

I flavoured mine with coconut extract, raspberry Torani SF syrup, or caramel SF syrup. LOVED all three of these. I know you can also add a tsp of cocoa powder to the vanilla to make it chocolate; our centre recommended that when they couldn't get any chocolate flavour Opti in during this past summer.

Wishing you luck on the next 20 days! It'll FLY right by!

Hi, I am on day 7 of opt, and I am pleasantly surprised by the experience. Do not mind the taste of vanilla, (Guelph had no chocolate at the time) not hungry, which is weird...I have been adding crystal light, just a third of a pouch, with lots of ice.

So, you are not the only one who thinks that...

First few days seemed breezy, just finished day 3 and although I still don't mind the vanilla (I have been playing with flavors) the thought of doing 18 more days of shakes is really getting to me, I would kick a goose for a salad!

Day 7 for me too. I find it congests me horribly though. I gained weight the first few days, but my endo made me make a wee adjustment (not saying because I don't want anyone to do it without a doctor's approval). And now I'm down 8...

The taste, though, and the congestion, getting to me.
