Opti
I hated vanilla Opti. The decaf instant coffee made a huge difference. I am not a coffee drinker but it really cut the sweetness. That, plus lots of ice in the magic bullet and it was tolerable.

Thanks everybody for your posts and suggestions. I will have to call the clinic tomorrow as I keep vomiting the drinks right back up....I think it is the dairy. I will have to see what they say tomorrow.

Sorry I am still pre-op... what do we mix this stuff with? I assumed it was some sort of powder we mix with water... am I wrong?

The very first ingredient in the chocolate Opti is Milk Protein Isolate. So I guess if you are sensitive to that, it could be an issue. Sooo sorry you are struggling. I'm on day 1 of Opti and doing well.....of course I have such a bad chest cold right now that I cannot taste anything at all!! LOLOL
