Optima at is terrible .... Help

Omg - I just stated Optifast today.  I can't get past the smell... I literally need to plug my nose to choke it down.  Please does anyone have suggestions ... Please I beg you!  I might need to starve until surgery July 20 ??

I meant Optifast ... Silly autocorrect 

People put them in a cup with a lid to mask the smell.  and of course you can add flavorings if you don't like the taste.

I've never had to do the opitfast-- maybe try some other protein shakes. Visit a GNC or Vitamin Shoppe-- they have lots of options. 

Try adding a few drops of food extract (vanilla extract... or peppermint always helps... almond is good, too) and try sugar free syrups, like Torani, or Walden Farms.  It really helps with the taste.  

Thank you so much ... I tried with orange extract and it was rough ... But the peppermint might be a good plan!  Strong flavours and a straw will hope ... I am praying 

I put some ice cubes and water in mine and ran it through my Ninja (like a Magic Bullet).  That helped quite a bit in gettting it down. I was gagging on it the second week.

Some flavors are better than others. I drank the chocolate most of the time. Then I tried vanilla for my snack before bed with the chocolate bar heated in microwave for 30 sec. Yummy. 

What flavors have you tried? The soups were tougher for me. But I could suffer through the chicken. I hated the tomato. Yuck! 

It's  only a few days. You can do it! ?
