Optifast Burps
Happy Halloween Everyone
Today is my 3rd day (of 28 total) for Optifast. I don't mind the taste at all but the first day I felt soooo bloated and didn't think I was going to get all 4 shakes in but I did.
I spaced them out a bit further and that helped but I'm still burping a lot. Did anyone else have this and I'm wondering why. Maybe it's because I'm making them into a shake with my Magic Bullet (infuses air?)
Curious minds want to know!
They are pretty thick. I think they do that so we feel fuller. Maybe smaller sips might help.

I started optifast yesterday morning. I was burping a lot too but not so much today.
I personally hate the taste of the optifast. The protein taste is terrible. I have tried flavouring it many ways & can only choke it down when blended with A LOT of ice. I also have a bad metallic taste in my mouth as well since starting.
I have not been able to consume the 4 packs a day. I get in three. They make me very bloated & uncomfortable.
Any advice would be welcomed. :)
