Opti question :)

Today was my first full day of Optifast.  It went really well (aside from a nasty headache)

I know they say to drink 4 packs a day but I literally had to force myself to swallow the last cup.   I still felt full from the 3rd!! 

Has anyone else been this way!?!   Has anyone had trouble drinking the 4 full shakes?    I'm going to suck it up and do what my doctor says, it's just weird actually having to FORCE myself to 'eat'  ... I normally don't have that problem    lol

 

Save the last one until the evening. I actually was unable to drink more than 3 because of opti trots. I never had a problem with this. I knew if I was hungry I had it if I needed it

Do your best to get all 4 in. There is a reason they are prescribed that way, you need the nutrients that it has. I usually had my last one in the early evening. the headache should be gone in the next day or so, take Tylenol to help it. Drink lots of water as well. This time will fly by, and beforer you know it, you will be responding to questions and comments from the "bench"

 

you can do this!!!

Oh, trust me ... I will absolutely drink all 4 even if I have to force myself daily :)   I think tomorrow I will change up the timing of the shakes to see if that helps a bit.

Thanks!!!  

Try having your last one later in the evening. I did mine every 4 to 4 1/2 hours. If I Waited longer than that between shakes, I would get really hungry, and less than 4 hours, and I would be too full to drink it.

Good Luck ... Ad happy Opti
