Just had my first Opti, and it didn't kill me!!

I had vanilla, and it really wasn't too bad.  Not as sweet as I was expecting.  Lunch will be chocolate, then I'll try choc/van together.  

glad to hear it wasn't too bad ...... 99 optifast packages on the wall

Too funny!

Ive been having my Opti plain but recently I tried the vanilla with orange/grapefruit Crystal Light and OMG! it tasted like an orange creamsicle! It's my new favorite.

I am on day 2 and I am liking it. Have tried Vanilla with Tangarine/grapefruit crystal light and orange extract and it was good. Also did Chocolate with banana extract which was yummy, and then tried using the flavored water with them and it was good too.
Only thing I am finding is that the morning I felt a lil shaky and blah but just body adjusting to the change - Good Luck Megan! When and where is your surgery?

July 22, St. Joe's Hamilton.  How about you?

I'm on day 13 and haven't had any problems with it at all, actually really like it.  It's nice not to have to worry about what to make for meals!  Just add some flavourings to mix it up so you don't get bored.  Good luck to  you.

 Good luck!  Keep us "posted" on how you're making out with your recipes!  By the time I get to that stage I won't have any shortage of recipe ideas!!  :)

All the best.....

Hey Megan Congrats on getting that first shake down lol. If you are looking to doctor them up I really like Chocolate with raspberry (SF syrup)  I'm not to fond of the vanilla so I mix it half and half with the chocolate.
Vanilla with a scope of decaf instant coffee works well too. Hope Optifast goes well for you!!
ps we have the same surgery date
