Opti Fast help awful
I had two weeks of the opti diet. The first three days I thought I wouldn't make it to surgery. Damn things are not the greatest. By the end of two weeks I was looking forward to them at meal times cause it really curbed by appetite. I had two boxes of both chocolate and vanilla. I tried crystal light and gagged. I tried other concoctions and no go to those as well. What worked was mixing half a pouch of vanilla with half pouch of chocolate, added about a tsp of expresso instant coffee and ice. I could always get it down with that. I also chugged it so you can't get a whiff of the stuff. As far as the runs, I only had them the one day, but for me it was the opposite and hard to go. Keep with it, I had my surgery march 24th and since opti I am down 21 lbs today.
Thanks Sue, I hate the vanilla the most, but I mix with cold water in the bullet and chug. Then I fight to not throw it up. I have had the trots the first 3 days but today is day 4 and none so far, but I am fighting nausea now. I hate this stage. I am so looking forward to the surgery and am very positive but I just hate the opti.
I am on day 10 of my Opti and this is what I have found. The trotts do get better. Also the colder mine are the better I like them (the opti I mean not the trotts lol). I like instant decaf coffee in mine it tastes like a cappuccino or cafe mocha. My best tip is more water when mixing it. They call for 300 mls I put closer to 400ml it tastes less cake battery. Good luck. My surgery is April 22nd and im having RNY
