HURRAY SYRUPS
Ok, the syrups I recieved has made Opti awesome.
Cookie dough and chocolate this morning
Vanilla and Orange in the vanilla for lunch
Peppermint and chocolate was dinner last night.
I am still hungry and stomach growling , but I will keep drink water.
Had to start adding isulin fiber to the opti fast ( TMI, starting to get a bit backed up )
But today is day 5 and the scale says I have lost 3 lbs.
Oh well, anything is good. Just 23 days of Opti lefts hehe

way to go! glad things are working out for you!! :) someone had mentioned added instant coffee granuals -- i tried it with both choc and van and it was really nice as well.
i found van seemed to thicken more than the choc -- not sure if that is standard or just for me.
I noticed its a bit thicker also.
I don't like coffee so I'm not gonna bother to try it
I have more flavors to play w gonna do coconut and chocolate tonight.

they are a life saver :)
dont forget you can have some sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello. finding a chicken broth you like will help long term. a month is a long time, it took me a while to find a broth i could eat. ended up with a boullion cube one.
you got this!
Thanks Jay!
I like Campbell's low sodium broth. I seem
to crave savory mid day.
A month is a long time..

I just picked up a new syrup today black cherry can't wait to try it. I taste tested the peppermint it was good but I didn't know what I would use it for (I don't eat chocolate, it gives me head aches). So far my favorites have to be hazelnut and salted caramel.

I couldn't eat the Campbell's low sodium broth at all. The organic stuff just tasted like a chicken pee'd in the box.
I started using the boullion, tasted much better to me. it was also nice to have something warm and savory.
but if the Campbell's is working for you keep it up!
