Dry mouth and frozen!

Oh optifast, the gift that keeps on giving. Did anyone else suffer dry mouth that no amount of water seems to help? I'm also suddenly cold and can't get warm. Doesn't feel like chills, just frozen to the bone even under three blankets. Normally I am a walking furnace, cats and small children are always cuddling up to me for warmth, so being this cold for no apparent reason is not normal for me. I hope I'm not getting sick, I don't feel sick. Is it possible this is an Opti side effect? Between being cold and my mouth being so Sahara-like I'm having trouble sleeping :/
21 more days!

my very first day of Opti I was freezing. Like is visibly shivering so much others would comment.  BUT!! everyday is so different on Opti, sometimes it changes within hours just when I think ok I can handle this...... it changes

last night I kinda thought hmmm opti trotts not happening this is good  except it goes to the extreme opposite and now I can't fart to save my soul!

 

You're right, every day is different! I finally fell asleep last night under four blankets and then woke three hours later sweating. Almost like a fever had broke or something, except I didn't feel feverish at all. So weird! My Mom thinks maybe it's just toxins and stuff leaving the body, and the shivers/cold is the body's way of dealing.

I kind of thought I had the Opti trots yesterday too, but I think it was just from putting extracts in my Opti because it only lasted a few hours and it was after my last shake. I googled a bit and using flavouring seems to make things run through a bit faster. But I am like you, back to being completely plugged up! Head hurts again today, stomach is kind of off. Oh Opti, you're the bane of my existence right now!! 

Hopefully today you get some balance - I've seen a lot of posts from people saying they add benefibre to their shakes, or they take Senekot to try and move things along ;)

Love the dry mouth....and if i dont tend to it, a giant headache it sure to follow!!!

Yup, feels just like a dehydration headache but I have no idea how I could be dehydrated since I am drinking litres and litres of water! 

I kno, catch 22 if i dont drink the water i have a killer.headache, if i do, im in the bathroom all day, lol like (pee) every 15 mins lol tmi!! I kno lol

i have no coldness, but lots of peeing and bathroom. The one thing I hate is I feel like I want to brush my teeth everyday. After my opti shake it feels like I have just eaten hard boiled eggs ( love them) but wants to get that feeling out of my mouth. It will get better with the cold and hot, You are in ottawa at the temp is crazy. Its 4 in the morning and in the 20's in the afternoon

the shakes used to give me teeth sweaters..I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth every time a shake went down..something I don't miss!

lol teeth sweaters is exactly the right way to describe it! I am brushing my teeth about six times a day!!

Get used to the coldness. as you lose weight you will never be hot again.
