Day 17 Optifast

So happy my optifast days are almost over!  4 more to go!  Day 17 and I'm very tired of only eating sweet shakes. I'm a little discouraged as I've only lost so far 6 lbs.  I've stuck to the shakes only, and only had 3 cups of broth in the past two weeks. Only water to drink and nothing else. A few days I only managed 3 shakes.  Are there others like this that had only small amounts of weight lost during this phase?  Every post I've read it seems people lost so much more. I swear my body love someone to squeeze absolutely every calorie out of everything that goes in my mouth! :)

You're doing great.  Try adding decaf coffee crystals to the shakes to cut the sweetness.  

Yes thanks. I've been doing that with the vanilla to mask the smell ?  Also I have added cocoa powder a couple times and it seems to mask the flavour too!  3 more days!!!

I have only lost 6lbs and surgery is on Tuesday.  I thought something was wrong.  The purpose of Opti is to shrink your liver.  Any weight loss is an added bonus.  Everyone loses differently.  I wouldn't worry.  Good luck!  ??

Thanks Kat.   It day is Wednesday for me. Yay no more optifast :). Where is your surgery?  Mine is at st joes in Toronto at 1:30 am his Wednesday.
