I'm on my 3rd day today. The opti aftertaste seems tin or mettalic to me, I started off hating choco but now like it more than vanilla. What's your preference? I've been adding SF extracts to mine, thinking of adding a SF Popsicle to the vanilla today and see how that goes. Keep me posted as we are very close in dates!

I agree the aftertaste is not the best I have been chewing gun to get rid of that. I can do the chocolate, but so far each time I have tried the vanilla I have not been able to keep it down. I keep plugging away to find the correct item to add so that I can drink the vanilla. How was it with the SF popsicle?

Good luck with the Optifast. I hope you do not have to be one it for long. I couldn't qadd any flavourings with artificial sweetners siince I was already reacting to the optifast. Someone suggested coffee. I actually came to like my dinner drink. I put one cup of water some instant coffee and ice. I had never used instant coffee before but found it worked. I put it into the vanilla and the chocolate. Justa a alternative suggestion

Good for you! I found that I needed to continually shake the Optifast to keep it mixed up otherwise the last mouthfuls were not the best.

Keep trucking!
