Start my optifast journey

Well tomorrow is the day I've been waiting for and anticipating. The full reality of this process not only starts with the appointments but also with starting the optifast... I have 3 weeks and feeling ready with all the supplies I'll need, got my blender, my syrups, my jello and my broth. So hopefully that's all ill need to get me through these next few weeks. I had my last bad supper @ Chinese buffet I guess that was my last time there...but all for a healthy future...it's gonna be a rough road but looking for the challenge...any advice about the optifast I will definetly take...thanks for listening.... Yoyo

Ice Ice baby - keep it cold, I used an insulated glass with a straw as the smell bugged me. Try to drink all four - I spaced mine out and had them at the same time everyday. If you have to travel use a thermos and have it premixed with ice.

Good luck! You're almost there!

Everyone is different. I liked the opti. And had to use crushed ice.. I bought a magic bulit and brought it to work as well. Loved it. The vanilla i used Crystal light in it. Try and think positive  it will go a long way... Good luck, you will do great..Krista..

I found that I was hungry in the morning around 10:30 and then again in the afternoon about 3.  So I had my morning OPTI with coffee, then about 10 or so I had half a package at work using my blender bottle, and then the other half about 3pm.  Then I would have one at 6pm or so and then the last usually about 9pm.  Find a spacing of the shakes that works for you and your schedule. Good luck.  Tomorrow is my surgery day and I was worried I might not make it through the OPTI phase, but I have.  You can do it.  Just be determined.

Good luck tomorrow!

Thanks all..and yes good luck with your surgery tomorrow you will do great...but if i may ask how much water did you guys add to the optifast???
