I hated it too. I ended up adding peppermint extract to it. That made it bareable.
I know some people added orange chrystal light and said it tasted like a creamsicle. Some add coffee to it and a touch of sugar free chocolate syrup to make it mocha.
No matter what you do...it still sucks.

Tonight I'm making dinner, but chicken this time... No more fish adventures lol.
QOTD: I haven't been watching Netflix much, just a couple shows on cable -- New Amsterdam, the Good Doctor, and the Rookie. These days I would rather nap or lay in bed watching YouTube lol.

why would anyone think about cheating??? it's 3 maybe 4 weeks out of your life to be given an opportunity for a new, healthier life... a NEW WAY OF THINKING about eating???
sure it's hard to cut out eating.. to stop the chewing process.. but look at the rewards in the end.. to get healthier!!!
i'm not pointing out that anyone is going to cheat but why even think about it in the beginning??
i just don't understand!
For some reason OH won't let me edit my own post, and I forgot to put in the QOTD: Haven't done this in a while, what are you watching on TV these days? We just finished Russian Doll on Netflix.

I stuck to the Optifast. The vanilla I mixes with lots of ice and decaf coffee crystals, like an iced coffee. Guelph only allowed us to have clear broth once a day, no veggies, just Opti.
I didn't cheat because Guelph made it very clear that the purpose of the Optifast was to shrink your liver and make the surgery less risky. Any carbs are bound with water in the body to create glycogen. This is stored in the liver. Ridding your body of stored glycogen can significantly shrink the liver.
Stay on plan, you've got this.
