To all people currently on opti and hating it....... its not so bad
Hey guys,
I'm right here with you on opti. I will admit, yesterday my first day was terrible. The first 2 shakes made me sick.
Once you find something you like to mix it with, it tastes nothing like opti. This morning I am having a DaVinci Carmel shot in mine and it tastes like eating those little mini caramels which are are favourite. You can always add as much as you need to give it more taste.
This is a special shout out to Sparkyboi. THank you so much for your posts over the last 4 weeks about opti and sharing your experience. You are what made me take my first drink yes. You have been really encouraging and make this seem so easy and I thank you for that :) I hope I have as much success as you do.

No No I am fine. I have a positive attitude. My message was intended for the couple posts below mine with people who are having a hard time on Opti. Thanks for the advice, but I am doing fine and is as positive as can be. I was letting them know, yes it sucks, but find something that makes you like it and stick to it and that its not all that bad.
Took me day but now I am loving every minute of it.

Just finished my first one. Vanilla with caramel Da Vinci in it. I'm going to have trouble getting four a day in. I don't have breakfast till 11am and I'm in bed at 10 pm. I start work at 6 am and never have anything bu****er all morning. I can't stomach anything early in the morning. It seems to have a yucky aftertaste. I have to get my husband to stop at the store and get me some SF gum. We can do this! Cheers!
