Optifast 1 week down , 1 week to go
Hi everyone, you probably remember me from my other post a few days ago. I was really struggling the first couple of days of optifast. Just like you all told me it definitely got a lot better. Weird enough at first I hated the chocolate and preferred the vanilla. But now, I like the chocolate much better then the vanilla. Another thing that helped was I switched the syrups I was using. Before I used the caramel with the chocolate opti and the vanilla with the vanilla opti. I swtiched them around and that was a huge help. I still don't like the shakes but it has gotten so much easier then it was at first. Surgery is coming up and I'm super excited.
I used decaffeinated coffee to help with some taste. Really worked well for me.

I found opti the hardest part so far. Once I got past the first few days it did get better. I had a really nasty headache a few days in. Hang in there. You are almost there! Good luck on your upcoming surgery!

I just finished my first week too. Man, although I like the shakes, this time around is harder than the last time around! (I was on them for 3 months back in 2015!!)
I can't recall if I mentioned it in your previous post, but black cherry syrup with the chocolate shakes is. to. die. for!! Also, I like strawberry syrup in the vanilla shakes :)
good luck and cheers!
