Today was my first day of opti and I must say it wasn't to bad.  I only had 2 on am still working on finishing my third.  I was at my PATT screening today so by the time I was ready to have my third it was time for dinner (2 cups of mixed green veggies and water).

Well my question is, can we have broth with our 2 cups of veggies while on opti?  And how about salad dressing that has only 20 calories?

Oh and by the way, Chocolate definitely tastes better with decaf instant coffee in it.

I can't answer because I'm at a different centre (where we aren't allowed vegetables on Opti) but just wanted to wish you good luck. I'm on my first day, too.

Thanks and good luck to you too.  How are you enjoying your opti.  I don't know how I am going to survive opti for 3 week.

I was on Medifast a few years ago and I find opti tastes better. Not great, but better! 

I need to drink it really, REALLY cold. 

We'll get through this! We're women. We're STRONG!

Broth yes, I would make veggie soup for dinner. Absolutely no salad dressing despite the calorie content. Lemon juice is fine though. Good luck, you are were I was 1 year ago
