OPTIFAST IS EVIL!!

Yup that it. That's all folks.. Hahahaha

Praying the syrups I order and should arrive tomorrow will make the next 26 days easier.. Bwahhhh 26 days.

OMG this is hilarious!

Thank god I have a sick sense of humor and off work sick this week.

I snipped at the tv calling food commercials various gross things to make it turn me off.

God help me.. And the ones around me! Hahahhaa

Thank you.

 have 7 syrups coming from low carb grocery tomorrow.

i don't drink coffee so that flavoring won't work for me.

No stomach issues yet, just very strange dry throat cough. I am drink tons of water also.

head hunger is very real and more of a demon then I thought.

Hang in there....I am currently in week 2 of 3 on Opti.  It certainly is challenging, and finding syrups/flavors to keep a good variety has really helped me. The head hunger is outrageous at times, and is a huge eye opener!! You will do great, keep up the good work, and wishing you all the best on this last challenging leg before surgery.

You can also use extracts (from the baking aisle) to flavour it. I liked banana, orange & lemon. Or, if you have vanilla but prefer chocolate, you can add baking cocoa to the vanilla and, voila-chocolate! :)

the syrups will save you lol. also blend with lots of ice and a bit of water. the colder it is the better. i made some thick like a dessert and ate with a spoon. some a little thinner with a straw but all with ice. no ice it sucks.
