Starting Optifast

I'm very excited for you! Good luck tomorrow morning I know you will do great!

 Wooo hoooo,
Dont worry you get use to it.
Plus the time will go by real fast , I am almost a week on opti.

Brenda, I'm on week 2 of Optifast & I actually kind of like it, believe it or not. I prefer the Chocolate but I just add a tsp of cocoa powder to the Vanilla if feel like it. So far, I really like the taste of Chocolate Opti with cold, decaf coffee or Caramel SF flavouring.  The SF Cookie Dough flavouring is yummy in either one & so is the Cinnamon Coffee Cake SF flavouring. The more crushed ice you put in it, the more it tastes like a real milkshake. It sure helps when you have to do it for 4 weeks, like I do!

I'll be waiting to hear what you think of it. I wasn't too crazy about it the first day or two but now I like it, so I hope you do too. It makes the time pass easier although I'm still craving food (I thought that would have stopped by now, but I guess not). Oh well, only 2 more weeks to go!

Yay, your day is coming!  Good luck with the opti, I kind of liked it!  With your positive attitude, you are gong to fly through this next step!

Optifast means your coming down the home stretch....... super!

You can do it!! Just make sure you get them into you.  My liver didn't shrink and it's mostly due to the fact that I was only on OPTI 2 wks and I didn't take enough. Best advice I can offer is EXTRACTS!! lol
It gets better.

You can do it

Just tell yourself how YUMMY it is

Yah Brenda, FINALLY! What a negotiator you are, making a deal on your optifast days. You are too much. Thats a first you didnt learn on the forum.

You must have read thousands of posts on optifast so I am sure you know what you are in for. I didnt mind it really, just preferred the chocolate. May 14th is so soon.

I am so happy for you. You are in the last stage before your new life starts!!.

WOOHOOO Brenda!
Finally starting Opti, you are getting closer to a healthier new YOU! :)
Good luck!

I am on week 2 of 3weeks. It took me 3 to 4 days to get used to them. Timing is everything. Do not let more than 4 hours pass between opties. I found the orange extract is good in the chocolate and the coconut extract in the vanilla. I just stuck with those. Eat your approved veggies, it will help with constipation. I took metamucal capsules in the beginning, but found I did not need them afterall.

Cravings for real food comes and goes. I find if I stick with an optifast every 4 hours, I survive. Enjoy
